A personal prayer with HaShem can best be explained as having a dialoque with one of your parents or with a trusted friend. When we start davening that way, we are avoiding obstacles of not knowing what to say.
It doesn't need encouraging faith to talk to HaShem as you are talking to your father, unburden all your troubles, worries and fears and give them to HaShem. He gave us the ability to love, to feel, to hear, to listen and to share this with others, but also with Him.
HaShem is not just G-d, we are part of Him, the part that chosen right over wrong, good over bad, light over darkness. The Divine spark of our Nefesh HoElokis, which enables emunah and strength as part of our Jewish identity.
Tehillim are full of power and comparable to endless trust in HaShem. Emunah is needed for a person's full and speedy recovery. Not just the ones, but reciting it many times as needed.
Here is a story about a miraculous recovery from reciting Tehillim.
" A little boy who's friend became ill, seriously ill and doctors had given up hope. The boy went home and started to recite Tehillim and when he finished he ran to this friends house to see if there was any improvement. When the tearful mother said no, he ran back home and said Tehillim for another hour and ran back to his friends house to see if there was any change, when the answer was again no, the boy ran back and forth that night. Until finally the parents of his friend informed him that the fever was gone and that his friend was sleeping peacefully to the road of recovery. "
We must not forget that HaShem is in control and with Tefiliah and Tehillim as wel as tezdakah, any Divine decree can be overturned. We should ask HaShem for all of our needs , especially when it comes to healing and good health, protection and emunah. Not only for ourselves but for others as well.
The hostages who are still in Gaza are in need of our prayers and Tehillim. When davening and reciting Tehillim we connect to HaShem and by keep on performing mitzvos we do make a difference.
Please keep on davening and reciting the powerful Tehilim, not only for the hostages but also for the ones who are released and still mentally and physically in need of recovery. Especially Yarden Bibas who had to deal with the worse thing anybody has to deal with.
Please keep on davening for Yarden, to give him strength to be able to cope and recover from his captivity in horrifying conditions and the horrific murder of his wife Shiri, his son Ariel age 4 and his baby Kfir age 10 months old.
Prayers for all murdered in captivity by Hamas. Daven for their neshamos.
