#586: Amida: Shema Koleinu (Part 15)

series is respons by the Saka family and by for we're up to the is the space it's the place to insert our own personal encourages us to do so talks about that that's the place to say if a person made a mistake you don't have to wait until the next till the next but every day three times a day one can UNC I made a mistake I want to own up I want to fix it and I want to repair it we began to read last night The Insider of who says that a person should ask a don't only ask for Cosmic enormous huge things because on the one hand it shows hem that we believe in him when we ask him to solve enormous problems but we demonstrate even more that we believe in him when we ask him to be involved in the small minua of Our Lives we make the mistake of thinking we can't ask because we project onto hm human character and attributes so we're overwhelmed we can't multitask we are have great responsibilities and we can't to it all so we mistakenly think that Hashem is similar Shalom but the truth is Hashem is infinite and omnipotent Hashem can take care of all the world's great problems small problems Global problems Universal problems and simultaneously be entirely focused individually on us can lower himself to see what's happening he's in the heavens managing the world but he's Mas he lowers himself to be able to manage what's happening down here on Earth and so the way that we demonstrate Hashem that he's real is not just to ask things that only indirectly affect us things that are big but Hashem Small Things help me Hashem in my tennis match help me Hashem my kid soccer game help me I'm helping my son study for his G help me whatever small seemingly small thing nothing is beyond him did you hear what just said there is nothing that you hope to do that day that you shouldn't let my drive to Miami go well let me find parking at the airport let lunch service be quick let there's nothing on the agenda for the day that means that our Shak should be two hours long because in we're reviewing whatever is on the agenda of the whole day let me not wait forever at the doctor's office let me get a positive answer at the doctor whatever it is look at your Outlook calendar look at your Google calendar look at whatever calendar you use see what's on tap for the day and that goes in every morning saysa they gave us the template it's called the amida it is all the universal needs or the that transcend time and space but now each of us as an individual insert here put in what's on the agenda for the day of course if a person has a challenge in their home if you have a joyous thing DAV and not go to your head that you not corrupt you that you not be compromised by it and then be said something interesting you might think how can I insert my own I don't speak Hebrew so well who only understands Hebrew maybe yish but English I'm going to speak to hasem it's sa religious I'm going to speak to in English in English says yeah speak to when you speak your vernacular when you speak the language that you would talk to your best friend the language that you talk to your mother your father and you talk to Hashem in that language casual comfortable real authentic sincere there's nothing more beloved it's so you get and beforeand whatever is on the agenda and at the end of that day I don't know if M represents the end of that day or Mar sometimes it feels like it's just the beginning of the day but you look back on that day and you say Hashem wow what a day what a night last night what results what a different pivot what I have a lot to be grateful for a lot to beu whatever desperation before the challenging time has to be the equal energy and passion to say thank you after the challenging time but we cherishes most a that comes from the depth of our heart so when does it come from the depth of our heart when we say someone else's words it's meaningful we recite someone else's script it's wonderful but when we reflect our own individual wow that's special that's the most so we have to dve on the words of the sitter they gave us the template but we have to insert our own and this answers you know many people are bothered well with this writes about it many people are bothered doesn't it get old doesn't it get old same three times a day six days a week parts of it the same the seventh day same three times a day 6 days a week 52 weeks a year every decade how many year it gets old right gets stale gets hard to concentrate just saying the same thing says because you're doing it wrong if all you're doing is saying the same thing it gets old and stale M you're doing it wrong but you're changing which you're doing for you're changing what wisdom you're looking foru reflects whatever do any of your agendas look the same two days in a row no two days of my life certainly in a very long time have looked remotely the same and I imagine the same is true with you so if our lives look different every day so much going on then our should reflect the fluid changes the differences in our day daving never gets boring it's not root it's not old we're busy thinking about what do I want to ask for today what am I putting in shaken today what am I asking for what am I grateful for what am I protesting what am I arguing with wrestling with Hashem over but it's constantly constantly changing it remains fresh it remains new and we'll conclude we go through the end of this
