The Potent Power of Heartfelt Jewish Prayer: Tefillah from the Soul

Everybody is looking for that secret sauce, that just potion that you can open up and pour on your life's problems to be the be-all, end-all solution. Yeshuos salvation. I wish, and everyone wishes, that it was just that easy, and especially in this ace sara, that we're going through the manifestation of the mitahs hadin that's going on. You can't even bear to think about the situation that these hostages are living in. It's gruesome, it's horrible. When you think about the Agma Snefesh of Azkanika's coming, a single girl who just wants to be married but is in Shadduchum and they have to light Kanika candles alone, it makes your heart sink and it makes you want to find the answer and help the person. But you feel helpless when you see people going through infertility issues, that God has commanded this upon these people and how badly you just want to see this couple celebrate the birth of a child. It really makes you want to find this secret sauce, that X-Factor, that squs, that segula of sorts that will finally be the solution. But maybe, folks, we kind of have some look into a possible and perhaps the only solution that the Ovos, our forefathers and our Imahos took advantage of. The one that seems to consistently work Is when you go all the way back to the very first Shadduch crisis, in which Yitzchok was seeking a Shadduch, but he doesn't see any proper Shadduchum around. What does a person who's stuck in Shadduchum do? We're told the Vayet say Yitzchok lasuach basudah. Yitzchok went out to pray and even before he was done with Ashray, he took three steps back. He's about to begin to smell an Ashray. Boom, his Shadduch is already coming towards him and she falls off a horse, off of the donkey in there. I don't even know if he finished his menchah, but presumably he did. But boom, the Tfilah. Immediate answer. We have the introduction of the Imahos, in which we're told that here, this is Sarai, and she is introduced to us as a woman that cannot physically give birth. She was Akara. Then we're introduced to Rifka, our Imahos. Hi, my name is Rifka and I am barren. This is how the Torah defines them. But yet they both were fruitful and multiplied and gave birth. How we're told that they prayed. It was a Vayet, our Yitzchok. So why is it that it doesn't seem to work for us? Brooke, I tried that. Why did I slip you down this road and why are we even discussing this? We all know that it's Tfilah, it's prayer. Well, folks, it seems that there's a difference between our prayer and their prayers. Before fathers, the foremothers, not just they were more connected. Perhaps they were, but it seems that their Tfilah wasn't just a Daveneng, it was a Vayet Yitzchok, l'asuach, pasodah. Could you imagine the power of the menchah, how L'asuach means he went on this walk, on a journey, he prayed that it was such a potent and heartfelt plea and supplication that, in fact, published for posterity, is now the Tfilah of menchah. That's a hearty prayer that it established menchah for all time. Vayetah, you know what that means. It was this luscious of so bursting forth like a hooter, like a heather. The Tfila was defined a whole new category of prayer that it just would push itself up into the heavens to grab the salvation. The Tfila of Ispahel was a total laying out, sprawling out on the floor and begging of Hashem for Ispahel. The Tfila, they have categories and they all seem to have the same common thread running between them that there's this Osek-bats-tfila, that you go out and you journey and you give this heartfelt supplication and a Tfila at that level of Ayet-at-Tar of Ispahel. Ayet-at-tfila is a very common thread, it seems. The Yeshua comes even before you can finish your Tfila. So, folks, with all of the tzara's that we're going through, it's the same answer and it's been the very same answer since the beginning of time. You level up in your Tfila, you talk to Hashem with real sincerity. You do a Vayet-tse Yitzchak, la suach basad. You do a Vayet-tah Yitzchak, you dab in prostrating yourself. Please, hashem, I need you now and with that that's our biggest shot that Hashem hears our Tfilos and he answers us from here. Be Omenu.
