Prayer
Question
Hello Rabbi.
When you say in prayer, “Heal us, O Lord, and we shall be healed,” or “Please see our affliction,” etc., and you do not really believe that anyone is listening to what you are saying, then what are you directing your intention toward? Or is it just like the chirping of a starling?
Answer
I say it on the possibility that there is sporadic involvement by someone when there truly is a need and no natural solution.
