Wow WIY, thanks for that info.
I was also going to say, Daven in your own words. Is there something you feel strongly about, concern, worry, fear? When the feeling hits, whisper to HKB’H then. That builds a more meaningful connection. Also, think of HKB’H like your father (or any close person who’s been there for you) who you are coming to for advice, comfort and help.
