The Power of Prayer
After 150 days of the flood, HaShem had mercy on Noach, and ordered the waters to recede, as the Torah states, "Elokim remembered Noach." Yet Elokim is the name of G-d that signifies Divine judgment. Why does the verse mention the attribute of judgment at the time when HaShem's compassion was awakened? The Torah reveals that the prayers of Noach converted judgment into Divine mercy.
Lesson: The tzadik knows that even at the time of Divine judgment, the true essence of HaShem is mercy. Through his sincere prayers, the judgment reverses to mercy, the true essence of HaShem
App: Say one chapter of Tehillim with the intention hat your prayers awaken mercy for Klal Yisrael.
