CLD #328

Do you really believe Hashem
is in control?
For the Lyilui Nishmat of Shmuel ben Hadassa & the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara.
Its scary how literal the phrase from Tefillah is when we say Hashem Melech Hashem Malach Hashem Yimloch Le’Olam Va’Ed. Hashem is in control of this world, we can NEVER run away from it.
This is why theCLD wants you to pray: you can save my life and the life of the person you care about the most. Tefillah (prayer) is unbelievably strong.
So strong that the world does not continue to exist without it. The Gemara explains that Tefillah is one of the things in the world that are taken advantage of and is not used to its potential!
How do we know this is true? In Rav Finkus’ book: Shearim Ba’Tefillah (Gates in Prayer) he explains that the entire realm of plantation, grass, trees, and anything associated with that sector of nature did not bloom until the 6th day of creation. Why is this weird? Because the Torah tells us that Hashem created nature on the 3rd day, so why did it only bloom on the 6th day? Because Adam HaRishon (Adam) was created on Yom HaShishi (the 6th day). So what, Big deal?!

The world only began to ‘work’ once the first Tefillah was said by Adam! Adam HaRishon had to have prayed in order for nature to begin to grow and function properly! What does this teach us?
That in such a dark generation that we live in, especially in such a difficult time for Am Yisrael that for example in the last year 3 friends my age (~20) have lost one of their parents Rachmana Litzlan (Hashem Yerachem in Aramaic), every single action, especially opening one’s heart to Hashem in Tefillah creates such a positive influence onto the world filled with mercy from shamayim that we all need!

Making life good is in your hands.
So please help the world by whispering to Hashem the smallest prayer: “Thank you for everything you do for me Hashem!” or even if you need spiritual help: “Please can you just make it easier for me to become more knowledgeable, only you know what I really desire, and please channel those desires to do what I need to do in this world.”
