Praying Earnestly?

Do we believe, that every prayer we say is precious and heard by Hashen? Do we sincerely feel that our prayers have the power to create change? That our prayers go up and are accepted, when presented properly, with sincere intent. That they must be said in a respectful way and in a respectful place.

After all, we are speaking to the King, directly, with no intermediary. What an honor, to have been given this opportunity. Do we appreciate it? If yes, then how can we tolerate noise and disturbance, while having a one on one conversation, with the One and Only. The Only One that has the actual power to make a difference in our lives and the lives of all those around us.

Do we show our appreciation by coming on time to davening, or do we arrive whenever it is convenient for us?

We want Hashem to pay attention to us, then we best pay attention to Him, wholeheartedly. When we show Hashem that we are aware of His Presence, then Hashem pays more attention to us. How important it is to remember, while spending time in Shul, for it to be with awe and reverence, in Hashem’s Honor.
