Prayer

שו”תCategory: faithPrayer
asked 4 years ago

I saw that the Rabbi wrote in column 316
“The same is true regarding prayer. The requests in prayer are based on assumptions regarding God’s involvement in the world. These are assumptions of fact, and therefore there is room to not accept some of the rules of prayer that are based on error. Although rules are norms and there is formal authority regarding them, prayer is an exception, since it is impossible to pray without preparing (this is worthless), and after all, intention depends on facts.”
I wanted to know what things were meant for.

I didn’t understand the question.

It is written in the column there that requests in prayer are based on assumptions about God's involvement in the world, which is a mistake, and therefore some laws are rejected.
I asked what the mistake was?
And which laws were rejected
In thanksgiving

I explained the mistake. The assumption that God is involved in the world is a mistake in my opinion.
I don't remember writing that there are laws that are rejected. What I do remember is that if I had come to a complete conviction of non-involvement, then there would be no place to ask in prayer. In the current situation, I don't have the certainty required to change, but I will indeed not ask beyond the fixed wording and general intentions (for the entire world, if there is someone in trouble that has no way out of it), and in any case there is nothing to build on that.
If you saw something different in my words, please refer and quote.
