Be A Hero - Pray Regularly:Thoughts and Prayers from Jerusalem Shalom from Jerusalem! If you set a permanent, regular spot for your prayer, your enemies will fall before you. Brachot 7 We have learned that Abraham set a permanent place for his prayers, and was called humble and righteous for this practice. In this passage, our sages reveal another benefit of set prayer space - conquest of enemies. Could this be a winning strategy for armies? First of all, don't knock it until you've tried it. But on a spiritual plane, the main enemy is always our evil inclination. If we would simply be cognizant of God always, we would conquer this enemy before he even had a chance. And that is one way of creating a permanent space: create a permanent space in your life's perspective, by being in God's presence at all times. Today, pray regularly, and keep your evil drives at bay! |
