The Spiritual Diet: Unlocking the Power of Prayer for Personal Triumph

I always found it odd that there are nutritionists that make millions, successful nutritionists that will teach you how to eat, how someone can walk in the door and say I'd really like to lose 20 pounds. Can you help me? And we're not talking here about, god forbid, somebody who has a chronic or genetic illness, god forbid, obesity is a horrible thing but someone who 20 pounds overweight he's got that Shana Rishayna Baik, he's got the Chulun Belly and he wants to drop those 20 pounds. It always is baffling to me, stupefying, that when we'll walk into an nutritionist's office and pay them thousands of dollars to tell them stop eating so much, work out, would it kill you to take a walk? I mean this to try to make a point that in the realms of spirituality, we all have our suffering, we all have our goals, everyone's got something and we're all looking for the nutritionist's way out, maybe a shortcut, maybe, if I try putting on a red bandal, maybe I'll do a Segula, all these different ways that we may seek to dive in at the Rebus Kevlar so that God will maybe help me to overcome. But the honest truth, I think the sources tell us that the trusted way that the Ovos found success and the point of life, how we're supposed to overcome challenges and become successful. The answer the eat less and work out more philosophy. It's always been and always will be Tefila. I came to this realization because it was yelled at me by a Rebbe when I was talking to him about something. It's always been the same answer.

What did Moshe do when there was big Tsarist Hashem? Hashem Korachim Chana? What did Avromovinu do? Hashem, please help me. What did Yitzchak and his ebed do? Hashem, please help me. God, my steps. Why isn't it working? When I got the Moshe Shmoos of don't quit and go somewhere else for different results, stop eating better, pray better. Maybe you aren't really trying, maybe you don't know what the words mean, maybe you aren't passionate, maybe you aren't sincere, maybe you don't know what is going on and who you're standing in front of. But when we go all in on Tefila, just like the Avosted that Tuftsu Um Neshela Avosam, we prayed, and the water opens, then success is had and miraculous salvation has happened. You don't need the nutritionists to figure out what we need to do in life to overcome and to be successful. The answer is to improve in our Tefila and to daven like our life depends on it, because it does.
