SF - # The Power of Prayer at the Edge of Despair

The journey is beautiful

When the angels arrived in Sodom to destroy the city, it seemed that the fate of the city was sealed. Nevertheless, Avraham prayed for mercy and beseeched HaShem to spare the city. The reason for Avraham's reliance in HaShem's mercy is found in the Torah axiom: "Even if the sword is resting on your neck, do not desist praying for mercy." Even when calamity is about to strike an amoral society, it is never too late to seek HaShem's mercy. How much more so, is it appropriate for those who are pleasing to HaShem to always trust HaShem and rely on His mercy. Envision that your trust in HaShem is like a young sapling and see it grow into a mighty cedar tree with its branches stretching to Heaven. (Based on the commentary of the Seforno to Parshas Vayera) Donate May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.
