How To Pray During Days of Mashiach | Pslams 142

it's this she is actually a sequel to The Shear from last week if you remember last week we spoke about the forecast of the which laion had said had said there will be three Wars of gogu Magog and the last one he explained would be an a time of difficulty and stress for clis which is really what we're going through at the moment and then the said but from there they will be saved and then we mentioned who had said as had explained that only a thinking sensitive person at such a time should be quiet and quietly prepared in great preparation maybe such a person will be those are the words of and we explain that definition of a mascal is somebody who has successfully thought out he understands that he is running the world remember we also brought down from the the rain and the snow do not go back but certainly the BR and the and the toe which one does and that really is the cycle of prosperity and benevolence and Welfare from sh we sendas and Hashem sends gmas that's the way and then we mention at the end the famous prognosis of v v had said in the times of theim like Rashi and the rambam that the main AV was certainly a of to and to was the main essence of their lives but then said in the times of I the m in the times of which we're going through now he said that there would be something the more the preeminence would be of would almost take over we asked the question of course P brought out that certainly is more important than and he explained that it's something like the person decides on for example to sit learn the whole day long and doesn't hear the Chau he's negligent because the Torah obligates him the MIT the day itself is a day of Chau and therefore the mitz are the Mitzvah you can't neglect that you have to of course to Tam is important as well but at the same time it's the Mitzvah finger on the pulse want to feel understand the Mitzvah of of of of similarly we walk down as by way of an analogy the same way is by of course is very important but there's something very real and something very special which is the spirit of the day which we're going through now meaning the times which we're going through now is one has to turn to and is the main Ava remember we mentioned also in per 124 at the end of that which talks about which is must turn to and that is the real help the Yeshua this per turns and brings an example from toim from DAV of per 142 K Bas kman Bas is Mas when David was inside the cave he turned and turned and andiz the importance and the importance of of davening in order to really take out all the momentum of this she what I'd like to do is give a little bit of a background so we can understand maybe a bit of a portrait who was DAV and what was he going through when he said this pay we have to really begin from the time when he had killed golius doid and he became famous as a famous warrior he killed the giant of the pishin but after that he never gained any of The Prestige of the Valiant Warrior what happened was he then had to go on the run as a fugitive running away from sha who was trying to kill him and he was in tremendous mortal danger even though he had TR reached tremendous Fame in Al Israel but he had to run away because sha had wanted to was Tred to assassinate him and kill him and what happened was there was a banquet ofes which David was supposed to come and play music at the banquet and he was scared since he was aware that Shaw wanted to kill him he asked yonas and his friend to go in and sit at the banquet and test the mood of his father to see how the land lies jonis went in as we know sha was very angry that doid hadn't turned up and he swore at at yonis and doid then yison realized that certainly his father was still angry with him and he had made a PCT with David that he would then come out into the field and shoot arrows and the posk says if the arrows went beyond a certain Ro it was a sign to David that he must run away if the hours were in front of the rock then certainly doid could come closer and doid yis shot the hours Beyond The Rock and immediately he realized he was in tremendous danger and they met they said goodbye to each other and D had to run away he ran away from Yim to a place called no no Wasim a place where the kohanim lived when he actually arrived there he was in a situation of bulus bulus means about to die of starvation yonis had forgotten to give him food on the way and from there we know the important mits was always giving somebody food when they leave your house certainly when they travel away somewhere should give to and he forgot to give that yonas and didn't give him and as a result when David arrived in the which was out of no choice even though he wasn't a he ate from the him from the food of the he had no choice he had to eat from there and he stayed there in N and then what happened was that do who was the ABB St saw doid there and reported back to show where doid was immediately do had to run away from no and he ran away to a place called Gat which is by the pan which is by Aza which we know today he went and stayed there and he lived there for a certain amount of time until aishat discovered that this was the man who had killed his famous warrior golus so he organized to kill David and the only way David escaped from there was he pretended to be a mug he dried from the mouth he wrote on the wall and he made himself look an absolute fool it so happened that had a wife and a daughter was also muga and he turned around and said I need any more M and he left D alone and was able to escape from there he ran away from Gat after that I just want to trace the steps is all these are in sh Alf the beginning of sh Alf he then went to a place called adulam the caves of adulam he was on the Run he was a fugitive and there the POS says he looked after 400 Muk 400 people who were broken who had no Muzzle in their life who were broken had no money had no Naas no family no pannosa nothing to do nothing at all and he looked after like a father figure such a beautiful portrait a caring caring person he looked after all these 400 people and people had no no success or happiness in his life scha knew where he was then he had to run away from there and he ran away to a place called mitz moav where actually he put his parents there and the parents stayed there and then the parents were killed there there was a certain substitutes there and he ran away from there to a place called The Forest of clay The Forest of clay is nothing grows in clay clay is Barren there was no vegetation no protection for him nothing at all and he had nothing at all from there we have the most beautiful P perhaps into such a beautiful pay ofus to B even though he had nothing he wasn't hallucinating there but he felt as if I was by Lush pastures and water and a beautiful scene of Tranquility but he wasn't tranquil but because of his b he had tremendous tranquility and jonis actually found him there and brought him food and looked after him you made little fine sh was running after him with 3,000 soldiers he then ran away from there and went to a place called Kaila Kaila was a city that was being attacked by the pishin he saved them and then they reported straight back to scha unbelievable betrayal that they went back and told sha where he was and he had to run away from there if you look in the life of D there were so many scenes where people who were close to who betrayed him do a also his son abom and people of Kila and continually he was being betrayed by people he went from Kaa and ran away to a place called M midb and midb there were two mountains which were there he escaped one of those scenes I remember reading it in sh Al it was almost like Captain Mouse D is were on one side of the mountain he was running on The Other Side of the Mountain he was in tremendous mortal danger he then darted down to the yam and by AI he ran inside a cave and here we have this payor this is the payor of this pay paye I suggest actually in this year if you take out AUM this she is quite textile I'm going to go through the and show you differ from the this is where we have the when he was inside the cavea he realized the importance of he realized the what the value OFA was was what actually happened was David had gone inside the cave and as soon he was inside the cave a spider came and made a web right in front of the cave so it was clear there was no one else in there sha then came inside to relieve himself and Sh was on one side of the spiders web and dois on the other and then David said in reality there's nothing more than helps a person than prayer meaning in reality the irony of the situation sha thinks I'm at his Mercy but in reality he's at my Mercy I could actually kill him and he said even though he has all the king's horses and All the King's Men He has everybody with him but nevertheless he's really at my Mercy as well and David made this beautiful statement at the end of the day nothing helps a person but the the power of a person's prayer that he has and that is the great support and the butus that doid have he realized prayer will help him above all the medes brings down on this P such a beautiful P from Mish MD shame hasem shame Hashem meaning is a tower of strength and a sadic runs to it and he's uplifted he's elevated he's inspired and that's what he meant the lifted him up and inspired him m a tower of strength he saved from there and we see here from this situation here in this POS we learn the enormous profundity that there is in prayer what prayer is prayer is a support for a person that's the great support that he had in reality we know for sure kazal learn out this beautiful Rashi in by yam when clis came to the yamu they snatched and grasp the profession and the exper of the and we know for sure the prayer and that was the phenomenal K which D realized he snatched also the omness the profession the expertise of prayer and he daved there inside the cave I think it's phenomenal if you think about the circumstances doid was in Mortal danger and outside inside the cave there were 3,000 soldiers looking to kill him and these words were composed inside the cave behind the spider's web that's an incredible situation here unbelievable calm and and ability to compose such a beautiful peric of prayer inside while he was inside the Cave the POS inside the cave he composed it there is actually a beautiful medish and the medish brings around just an interesting point the doid once complained to the almighty and said as follows I don't understand why you created insects and creepy call is and also why people have to be muga why you have to have what's the need in the Bria and B turned around and said you'll see one day you yourself will be so dependent on it he es he escaped from Gat because he Beed mug there was a need for that he managed to escape because of that and certainly the spider made the web for him and therefore he saw himself that everything in the world has a purpose to it and there's a need for it even though he himself didn't realize at the time but the limit that we take out of this first posk is the enormous reserves of which a person gets it lifts him up a tower of strength a MD and that's what David said inside the cave I have my I have my prayer even though everything else seems to be abandoned and I have no no support system but I do I have Theon my tower of strength comes from the almighty and that's what he was saying here sha was inside the cave relieving himself and the 3,000 soldiers outside and he stood there and made this beautiful composition of prayer what I'd like to try and do in this Shia is to try and bring for you all the different points which come out from the but before we go through it I'd like to give you an point of introduction which we see in the commentary of the seoro on this per the siono says David inside the cave was certainly a fugitive and he was desperate and on the run from schol but at the same time he felt the pulse ofes of the the times that we're going through now in other words it was a realistic scene that he went through but at the same time the mood and all the the Imp implications and all the inferences that we learned from the per was actually also a a prophecy of David of what CL will go through in the times which we're going through now as and this is the prayer which is made and therefore there's tremendous relevance of this per to the times which we're actually going through now we are such b Bim o we're inside the cave in the cloud soil and Times of vict of the m in a similar situation David sense that and therefore the points which we're going to bring out in this year are very relevant to the times that we're going through after the war and and everything that's going on in and the anti-Semitism which is going on around the world is remember the words from there they will be saved mention only a thinking sensitive person mentions in Mishay the meaning of the word a mascal is someone who successfully thinks things out he has he has Divine assistance in the way he's thinking and that's the beauty of this pay David inside the cave sensed our own predicament that we're in and that's the LI which will come out out of these eight sentences which we have there were rules and guidelines for prayer during the time of the Masia and that's what I'd like to bring out to you let's go to POS base my voice is too I will cry out I will I will scream out I will call out to and I will beg for and grace and favor look carefully say how direct how accurate how precise the words are is like the bullseye he hit the target K straight on straight on directly to the k no diversion no distraction it was clear directly where the the was going straight to Theon and that is the tremendous M of tremendous success of Dar is that he in his prayers and we see this in t there was always a direct Focus he was he was on the mark he hit the point K directly to the kiss they I covered nothing else I'm not thinking about I'm not distracted I'm not I'm not disturbed by anything else my prayer is my basis now my nness my profession my expertise is prayer and that's what we see from this posk here the direct accuracy and the Precision of it I remember once hearing that had once asked a beautiful question about in reality the singular of toim is and therefore it should really be called safer why is it called safer to heal him and he explained as follows if you take for example put said a Yad a hand if you put out many hands you have 10 hands but supposing you put two hands out and you put two together two is a set Yim masculine plural means the set the set of it should really be to Hilo but if you have the set meaning said bhut the complete compilation of everything there is in prayer that's why it's called to heal him because everything you need to say in prayer is all in safer to heal him such a beautiful point and that's why it's to heal him to heal him means masculine Pro you have the set it should be to he us but like your D so to heal him to heal him means masculine PL all that you need to know in prayer is all in this pay which is a beautiful thought but the point we're bringing out here is that his ability to to be so clear to be so focused in his prayer maybe that's the meaning when we say he is the right address to D to and that's the secret directly to the point of where we have to go in the prayer there is an expression which the brings out in when it comes to mentions as follows what does it mean to have and you should put in your heart there's no one else there's no other medium no other Lucky Star no other man no other person I have no protects you at all except the meaning don't look at Uncle Charlie don't I have protects here I have connections when you DAV you must be straight and accurate directly to the source meaning there's nothing else and that's what is directly to the that's the point he's making here and it's so focused it's so penetrating the point here a beautiful expression which was once made by I saw in the by Pinkus explains as follows do you remember when yov gave Y and he said as follows to him I attained sh from asash with my sword and with my bow what does it mean we never find that yakob went to war with Asa to get what does it mean with my sword and with my bow and the tum explains with my prayer and with my request in other words the Marshall the parable of the prayer is a sword and a bow it really refers to the prayer in other words yob daved for but why does it say my sword and my bow and Pinkus explained as follows the meaning is as follows if you know the expertise and the skill of being a swordsman or an AR you hit the bullseye you hit the point meaning the focus is direct to the point there's a beautiful gar brings out in sanedrin that when Ken killed Heil he stabbed him many many times CU he didn't know where theaba came out from and similarly we find when avner put his his spear back in asahel and killed him under the fifth rib one blow one shot K didn't know where but AER did in other words one blow is enough one shot and therefore we learn here not necessarily we Ed out in previous shim is the length so important focus is the is the criteria focus is crucial once you're focused you don't have to spend so long in prayer in reality kashem direct if you hit the point straight off then you're there you hit the point and that's Thea here if you can act if you can be a swordsman a marksman and hit the hit the target straight Kash is direct he's hitting the point straight away and that's the skill which one needs to have to be you know time is not the most important thing time is optional it's discretionary but when it comes the ding focus is the most important of all I remember when I was in gatesa and remember the there if I can say I think he was probably one of the first to finish I I remember also in the minion I used to D there these great sadik he didn't take so long he knew what he was doing he had the skill I remember I D for years with he didn't take so long he knew what he was doing he was skilled he was an expert and therefore if you are marking the point and you hit the bull that's enough and that's the point which we learn here and therefore the limit the lesson which we take out of this posic base is the accuracy and the focus of prayer there is a beautiful pish onim I don't know if you can ever find it it's called The maharit dski onim I actually have a quite a story about that sa I remember I was asked when I was living in hanov to give a series of shim on T we went through most of sh most of t together and I went inside a store in I remember the name of the person it was a and it was someone called vulner was behind the counter and I put my hand on the on the books I said can you help me out with a safer onto the Good Parish he said lift up your right hand underneath your right hand is a beautiful P it was a marit and I B the saer from and he used it all the time beautiful safer I think two or 3 weeks later NE was killed on the number two bus remember in me he was killed on that bus but that P I remember such a beautiful pish the says as follows he was the guy of the he commented on this why do we have two expressions why are the two expressions and explained as follows is a legitimate claim in court I'm correct I'm right Sha here is pursuing me he has no right I I haven't done anything wrong in reality I could kill him someone who comes to kill you you can rise up and kill him I have a right in din I have a tier against him that's in din in court in a matter of law a matter of judgment though is a always ask for ask for something for for Grace from and those are the two points behind it I'm correct and also I'm asking for those are the two points the two arrows which doid thrust in this in this part the two the two points one is the and one is is the V makes a beautiful point on this it doesn't say the word to say nor does it say the word de to speak Co is like a squeak ah a scream a k k is like a squeam a squee out I screamed out to hasem you don't have to talk so much just the voice I'm turning to youhm means a scream to ah help I scream out that's enough that's enough like that and that's the power precise right to the right to the point right to the to the I will pour out to him my conversation my problems and my difficulties I will tell him about look carefully at this sentence here it's interesting that The Words which he used the word is a conversation the word is and what is something current and a conversation is also something current the meaning is as follows those there's a beautiful comment of the malim the Mitzvah on the night of the 15th of n is called telling about the going of out of mits but in reality the book is called the haod why do you call it the haod and the answer is says the malum as follows s means a story an old story which you might know I'm telling you a story which you might have know about haod means I want to tell it in a certain way if you tell the story about y m like an old Story the children will fall asleep at the table and they weren't pay any attention is if it's current as if it's alive and that's why it's called the meaning the heavens have been there for years and years there's no change the sky is today is weather is something current and therefore is teaching us here when it comes to daving you must talk about problems that you have now I'm scared of the Arabs I'm scared scared of theas I'm concerned what will happen you're allowed to say you're scared you're allowed to to express your your fears that's what prayer is I'm expressing my worries I need I need help I need guarantee I need a I need protection I'm asking you for help we hear in people are very wary what's going on and I hear also in London in different places as well of all the Muslims I'm scared you can tell him what's happening in my life now I'm concerned if the person's looking for I'm asking you now the situations which I'm in someone in my family needs Yeshua someone might be sick I'm telling you of my situation now and that's the the role of prayer prayer is an ongoing is a a conversation which is happening to me at the moment and that's the secret which is telling us here there is a beautiful MIM of the alter from and he explained as follows such a beautiful point but once you get this point you understand fully what the lesson of this sentence is is supposed to be a conversation he said as follows is the and I am the here is the creator I the one who created and therefore I say and I am the he form and therefore this conversation the relationship which I have I'm expressing the relationship is and I am the and therefore I say I express in the relationship what is the relationship he breathes life and therefore I say it's always like that the connection is made the says the alter and is really expressing the Y I am the jingle and I am the ever and therefore I sayuu it's clear the is there and that's what we're doing in the conversation I explain it's you I'm looking to you and I'm turning to you I'm asking you V I am the y i the young child I am the Evan and you are V the is here but what's happening to me now is really the conversation which I'm talking about here and that's the lesson which we learn from [Music] Basim when I am complete means like wrapped up covered over in despondency in great worry my spirit is wrapped up and you know the the path which I'm choosing in this path I will go but I've been overcome and I've been uh hidden by a p by a trap I'm overcome by the Trap let's look at this sentence again try and understand what lesson is teaching us here which is so relevant to our times means I'm sitting in a corner I'm covered up I'm drowned in my difficulties I have great difficulties I'm worried about it you know what's going on with me and that really is the tremendous situation which we have in prayer who thereare it's it's not a hidden agenda here not he knows exactly he knows I am being pursued and is trying to I you know what I'm up to here you know what my situation is you know my predicament here but I'm in a p I'm in a pth what can I do I'm in a trap here I'm caught out here it's so relevant to us in our times as well in the times of the problems we have withas and all the terrorist I'm in a p a means a trap if you remember we said in peric 124 k we learned through the our lives are like a bird who is caught by the Hunter's trap and the trap is is attached to me but the Trap the Trap will snap and I will be saved we will be saved it's a p the Trap is you can't talk to them you can't negotiate how can you talk to when they take so many hostages and kidnap so many people it's a trap it's a dead end what what can I do I'm caught in a situation that is the nature of and that is the nature of the that we're going through at the moment it's a means what can I do I talk in priests but they come to me in War what can I do how can I help them we gave so much to these people in AA the the utilities the facilities the water the electricity I give them everything and they come to me with war that's a situation it's a and that's what is expressing here our situation is like that that's the nature meaning it looks very glim but the rule is you know my pathon you know what I'm going through you know you know the difficulties that I'm going through here and that's the lesson which we learn from this PUK it's interesting that the medes brings out in by the brisban when the ab was shown the whole vision of the future of is he was shown he was sown all the periods Amo is Godless B is Godless Yan G is godess PO nois is Godless our love is God he was shown all the periods of of Exile of Cl all the periods and then turned around to him and said as follows this is the situation of the future of Cl isra if they keep the toah and the BOS then they will be saved from gas and gam but if they break the first two which which of the last two do you choose do you choose Gus or do you choose ginam Ain was asked at the end of the day he decided that he would choose gas as against ginam the vagon asks an obvious question of course Exile is better Exile there can be a g ginam is almost final and terminal what does it mean here he waited the whole day said the vonu could not sell clel into Exile unless he himself knew that he was able to withstand all the difficulties that they're going through the the end of the day a said I choose gas of all the difficulties that I see in front of them if clis do not keep the to and the B mikdash meaning the kadus and the tower the Bas then why choose Gus why why did he delay he built himself up with such resilience that he himself said I would be able to withstand all the difficulties which I'm going through in go which claro will go through and that's the nature of a even though I'm in a but nevertheless I can withstand it all I can manage it I can over these difficulties and that's the tremendous tremendous which people have in the periods of we see a Beau letter which has just come out now of someone who was in the Warsaw Ghetto and he writes a letter was found I think just recently of a person there I think later he was killed and the letter it says as follows with Bon last week I lost my daughter and my my my wife and a few weeks ago I lost all my family I have nothing left but should know of all the difficulties I'm going to I'm not leaving you I have you I'm staying by you I will keep strong by my amuna that's the letter which was written this most beautiful letter even though I lost everything and maybe he was killed as well at the end I'm I'm holding by you I'm strong by you and that's the lesson was said at the end of the day I'm able to withstand all the difficulties and therefore I'm going in this path but I know you know everything that's going on about me I'm in a path but you will help me and the promise we see in is eventually this the Trap will snap look at the next I look to the right and I see the M no one recognizes me no one knows me no one's there for me Refuge has been left me I have no refuge no one is asking after me what lesson do we learn from this POS my boy say it's so relevant to our times certainly DAV had his finger on the pulse as to what we're going through in our times who's asking about who's worried about three or four days after Sim the world was in support of of Israel and then all of a sudden the whole world turns around demonstrations in Berlin in Washington in New York in flat bush in London allas what happened here to all the support all of a sudden everything turns up all the decisions which were made in the United Nations we can rely on nobody can't rely on America we have to rely onon and that's the lesson here no one recognize there's no one there for me and that's the situation of gas meaning recognizing that I must turn I don't have anybody else that's the lesson of prayer all I have is that's all I have in these situation that I'm going through now in 1934 with the rise of the Nazi party in Germany they came to power and there was a tremendous worry of course throughout the world who was said the following I heard what I'm about to tell you now from the great G after one of the p in in he came to yes and he said the following M over from he explained exactly what happened from the rise of power of Germany in 1934 the rise of Nazi power he turned around and said as follows the situation that we're going through now meaning the wars of Goo Magog is really all inside P Basin to heal him let me read out the first of few suuk him to and you'll see what I mean said the difficulties of the rise of Nazi power is here inside why do all the nations gather together it's talking about and all the nations come around and they talk heaven and vanities all the nations will come together and all the princes will gather they will go against the almighty and his anointed ones meaning the fight of gogu Magog is a fight against the Almighty ask how can you possibly make a fight against I hear fighting human beings what does it mean go mag their war is against the almighty what does it meanman explained as follows the medish there in peric base in the AL brings down into him the following ex explanation asov called Ken a fool why asov said as follows if K wanted to control the world what he should have done is also killed Shas as well there was another son musan if he wanted to take control why didn't he K why didn't he kill Chas as well meaning asov said I will kill yob and I will kill everybody I will get yov when my father dies I will kill them all in other words I won't hold anybody I won't leave anybody out I will kill asov and all his family par called ASA a fool in the following way par said ASA you waited too long by the time it came to the time that yak had died and he tried to kill there was a whole sh there was a whole Mish family there it was too much for him to kill and therefore poers said to Asa you a fool what I would do is I get them when they born I will take all the children and throw them in the sea throw them in the water meaning power went a stage further than asov you waited too long asov I will get them when they're born hon turned around and said to parro you're a fool you took only the boys you left all the girls it's not enough you didn't go far enough not me Helman turned around and said I will go after everybody men women and children everybody that there is gogu Magog turned around and said to H you're a fool why are you a fool why are you going after them go after him attack him get him the question is how can you make a war against the almighty how can you fight hasem how can you fight hasem explained as follows they will pull us away from they will pull us away from any care and interest and scrutiny we have in mitzah they will pull us away and that's the assimilation in America the assimilation is it's alash to pull us away from there said but Theon will give us decrees which are in that we have no choice we have no other Refuge but to turn to the almighty and that's the reason for the Nazi party saidas the reason is we will have to turn to Hashem we have no alternative that's the nature of our difficulties and that's what it means I have nowhere else to go meaning the the decrees which we're going through now are decrees which are mean they try to P us completely but the idea is that the decrees are so harsh that we can't possibly manage without Hashem we can't we can't survive in this difficulty and that's I think is what we're going through in our situation the decrees are lightly so that we will turn to him and askem we have no other help how can we possibly manage if the abish doesn't help us that's the nature of this look carefully at this POS say it's a beautiful lesson which comes out of it I called out to you hasem I said you are my support you are my defense you are my salvation my portion is in the land of the living what is the lesson that David is teaching us here which is so relevant in our times I think it's on the word you are my support the V the def the definitive the definite side it's not not a not a doubt by me not a suggestion it's a v it's a situation of positive definite situation you are my help remember bris used to say you don't d off a Meg of a possibility you d a positive if you stress the word it defines clearly the relationship the relationship is I'm dependent the word actually you know you have it also in says means from the word I have a connection to you I have protect here I have a connection I'm intimate with you is a general situation and therefore means I have a connection with I am I am a part of your I'm close with you ra means the rest of the world but there's something more have a unique relationship with him we are the it's you and that's the the force the force is the positive side which comes out of it and that's what the lesson is which we're coming out from and that's the nature of it it's interesting I think maybe isn't that the lesson which we learn fromi on remember he turned around and said to the people make up your mind if you want to go to if you want to go to B go to Bal question is always asked how can Alo turn man to people and say go to B go to B what do you mean there's nothing to Bow the answer is the SW but don't sit in the middle don't be power either be milk or be fling don't be on the on the on the on the fence don't be either one way you must be definite you must if you're for Hashem for Hashem if you're for Bal for Bal if you go to Bal then you'll come straight back cuz you'll realize there's nothing there but but if you stay in the middle if you're a middle man if everything is compromised and nothing is very definite by you then you'll get caught out and that's what Alo was pushing them in be decisive be clear be definitive if you're of Hashem Hashem if you're about go to but one thing is for sure don't sit on the fence in the middle go to Bal because once you've gone to Bal you'll come straight back again that's the answer behind it and that's the nature of it the vas the definitive the positive side to it the Assurance which is so vital inside prayer maybe that's also the reason why when we come to shim as soon as we begin sh we mention our criteria quite clearly I say el el that's a definitive statement of support El says rla refers to a covenant a bris because ainu excelled in kindness the made a covenant AB Bru with Ain and said I will support you and your family l yok means because yok was so powerful and so overwhelming and ex excelled in y I will make a covenant with Y and also in his family similar with yob because he was so strong in the middle of Ms of truth I I will hold out for you meaning there are three covenants it doesn't say El abob says El it was an exclusive Covenant for cl is a clear definite support by because of his similarly with but they were all each one was exclusive each one was unique and that's my identity my identity is I come to you hasem I come to you that's the nature I am V V part of your family I belong to you and that's the almost like my two's Hood my identity when I come in front of him it's interesting before you start also I remember hearing from in the used to say also before you come to you say go you say the word Isel five times in Isel why because that's who I am I'm a member of is I am to you I'm I'm favorite to you I'm I'm part of you is that's I am part of cloud is that's and then I start then I begin who are you I'm a member of I'm a I'm clear about my status and that's a positive side to it and therefore is telling us in such times you can't sit on the fence you have to be clear with your loyalties you have to be clear in your devotion I know where my loyalties are and I know I'm I'm with and that's my clarity and my clear Assurance of where I am I'm holding POS Zion pay attention and listen carefully to my call I'm very very poor I'm very feeble save me from my my enemies for they are too powerful for me what lesson of prayer is teaching us here especially which is so relevant in our times what is the main word on this P I think is pay attention to me because I feel very feeble when a person comes to prayer he has to come not necessarily as a gav Raba with great support and great great uh backing I come as a few as an only my my humility before I come with with a certain request of I'm asking you for help I need your support so much the is a is a mindset you do you don't come to prayer with all your backing and all your wealth and all your background which you have you come as the mentioned before there's no one else who can help me and I feel very feeble and that feeble modesty humility is very important before prayer that's the lesson which we're learning from here in reality explain that is one of the reasons why when we come to D we start first of all with EAS is a prayer where we really explain ourselves the mha which is given to the of an Oni who's knocking on the door he's knocking on the door and hoping that the king will answer he knocks and knocks and waits and the King answers and he opens the door but you must straight away start your prayer it's a definition of a poor man standing help me help me all the Expressions it's an expression of anas of a humility behind it all and that's certainly also the reason why every always begins down why does begin with I cannot open my mouth I'm so feeble I'm so low I can't even talk to you aagi to but I must talk to you I can't be quiet such a beautiful expression The Dilemma The Dilemma is the optimum stance in prayer I'm coming to you because I I I I can't even talk to you but I must talk to you because you are you are you are everything to me that's the nature of the prayer prayer is I come I but I'm in a dilemma I can't and that dilemma is perfect now start cuz if you have that mindset you're ready to dab with trend kav and that's the necessity which you have the is the point here before we go any further I like to recap on these seven before we go the last p is the finale is the most beautiful P but I'd like to leave it for a minute and just go over the LI that we have make sure we get them clear the first is saying here the profound and the enormous power which there is the Tower of strength the MD in Bas is focus has the clarity D is teaching us here how to DAV all inside the cave behind the Web behind the web tremendous power of concentration and vacas yet in such circumstances Pok uh gimmel is my connection I have you I'm telling you exactly what's going on I mean something which is current prayer has to be something which is on your mind which you're thinking about you know my path it's not hefa it's not coincidental it's not so much something happened by the way it's not you know my path you know you are aware fully of what I'm going through and I'm in a p and that is the nature certainly of godess is it's difficult for me but the P will snap hey is the you can't be land there's no one else there's no one else to help me and I realize is my personal connection with you I am a choice I am a i part of your is the reference to anas and the humility before prayer now we come to the last which is a beautiful P I want to mention something which I think I have a little bit experienced in if you look through saer toim there are expressions of tremendous disillusionment and great despair but never ever does David leave us with that situation every pay as far as I can see always ends with an upbeat you never left with a situation of desperation the end of the per also so he lifts you up you never find y at the end of a per you find great difficulties now look at the end of this P this P of all the difficulties inside the cave being pursued 3,000 soldiers outside Immortal danger he's on the run and this is CL in the times of the M now listen to this last sentence which I think is the most beautiful beautiful sentence it tells you exactly what the mindset should be in prayer when it comes to ding in the in the take me out of this straight jacket Mas I'm locked in I'm closed in I can't move as you mentioned previously the why why the reason is as follows that I can come out and thank you afterwards my motive is to appreciate you and give praise to you afterwards righteous people will Crown me why that you have been good to me and you have cared for me dou is saying as follows you know I want to get out of this difficulty not to go off to Floyd and sit in a deck chair or take it easy for the rest of my life no no no he was much more devoted he was incred much more powerful than this because I'm AI I want to thank you what will happen I will be a role model for everybody else they will Crown me and say look what happened to D he was saved in the situation I will be a role model for all of khis in the future because you were kind to me and you looked after me K therefore for that that reason save me Hashem which is a beautiful point at the end I'm not looking just that I can enjoy my life and and spend it in Easy time my purpose is if you save meem I will be a dgma a dma is a personal example for everybody else in the world people will look at me and say and Crown me because because of me I will be the example for everybody for you were kind to me you paid me back what does the word Gamul mean Gamul means the payment meaning I wait waited for you I held on I was patient I I didn't give up I didn't lose my I didn't lose my because I waited for you Hashem and I was patient and I knew the difficulties but because you will pay me back for that a the men of the P at the end of which goes through all the of the last I will sing to hasem for he will pay me back mean because because I waited for him because I had the patience even though with all that's going on nevertheless I waited for you and because of that I will be the role model such a beautiful beautiful postic at the end it's me people look at me and see I will give an example for everybody how to give thanks to the for my difficulties you will look after me and therefore everybody will recognize there's there an example here there's a role model that we can match here such a beautiful POS that rabite is a pay that we have here the beautiful liud in which we can take out here but the last one is is the prime Pro which comes out of it all all the difficulty of person G in the end I'll recognize all the difficult which we've been through we will see the in the end I was thinking maybe that's the Beautiful song which we sing all the here such a beautiful song at the end it's a in the days when we will rejoice and be happy in our Salvation which will come out at the end and the time when the time will come on that time that is what I look for that is what I anticipate that is what I I waited for him and what will happen we should rejoice and be celebrate in his salvation which will come in we will see the Salvation these are lessons which we take out of the P such beautiful but sful guidelines as well for Trill during the times of our prayers should be accepted
