For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel
For the Refua Shlema of Chai Yaakov ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Mekor Chaim Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:
1. When one is praying the Tefillah of the Amida (Shmoneh
Esreh) they should not hold anything in their hands that would cause a
distraction (in order to pay attention on the object not to fall). However,
this does not stand with a Siddur or any type of Prayer Book (like a Siddur on
your phone) because that helps the person be focused on the Tefillah when
standing in front of Hashem.
2. The one who is praying should think that the Shechina
(Divine Presence) is placed in front of him/her and should push away all
distracting thoughts until he/she is completely focused on the Tefillah. One
should think that just like he/she is standing in front of a King of a country
they should plan their words correctly so to he/she should plan their words
when standing in front of Hashem who dissects each thought we have. If one
suddenly has a distracting thought, they should wait patiently until that
thought goes away. One should think of things that make our hearts surrender to
Hashem and turn us closer to Him. One should also prepare before the Tefillah
by thinking how small man is and how huge and powerful Hashem is.
