The Reason for Prayer
Question: Should we pray when there is a reason from the Creator, or should we ourselves look for reasons and initiate prayer in the ten?
Answer: The reason for prayer is your desire to unite.
If you want to get closer and see that there are still great disagreements between you, you involuntarily turn to the Creator so that He will unite you more. The best prayer is when you ask the Creator for unification.
In this case, you really feel how much you lack this and how much strength you receive to realize the unification.
Such contact with the Creator is the most direct and the most reliable because He does not expect anything more from you. As it is written: “How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together, as well.” Together—”gam yachad” (“together as well” in Hebrew), where “as well” means, as the Kabbalists explain, that “the Creator sits together with them as well.”
