SF - The Desire of HaShem

The Desire of HaShem

In the entire Torah there is just one reference to HaShem "desiring" something. What is it that HaShem desires? Our holy Sages reveal, "HaShem desires the prayers of the righteous!" When a good person endures hardship, HaShem longs for his heartfelt prayers. Just as food has taste, so too, the prayers of righteous have "taste." Meaning, when the tzadikim pray, they sense the mercy, love, and kindness of HaShem. HaShem desires the prayers of the righteous because their prayers  are rich with the joy of knowing HaShem's infinite goodness.

Lesson: Prayer is an opportunity to express our belief in HaShem and to experience the joy of coming close to Him. The more we sense the holiness of HaShem through our prayers, the more HaShem desires our prayers.

App: When you have a challenge in life, remind yourself that HaShem wants nothing more than your heartfelt prayer. Pray immediately to HaShem before taking any action. Know that HaShem, your Merciful Father, listens attentively to every word of your prayer. 
(Based on Ohr Yechezkel and Chochmah U'Mussar)
