Prayer for Reward
Question
Why in the Amidah do we ask, “Grant a good reward to all who truly trust in Your name”?
If I justly deserve reward, why do I need to ask God to give it to me??
Thank you very much
Answer
Who said that someone who trusts deserves a reward? Maybe trust is only a condition such that if you ask, you have a better chance of receiving reward?
