The Power of Prayer - Rabbi Reuven Lauffer

the power of tv is something which is immeasurable we see avraham avinu when he prays to god that the people of stone should be saved it's the longest prayer in the whole of the torah and yet it seems that face value it seems that it wasn't met and nothing came from it because in the end only his nephew lot and two of his daughters were saved but the rabbis point out that that's not strictly true because because lot and his daughters were saved so ultimately ruth was born and ruth of course is the great grandmother of king david and king david is the precursor of the davidic dynasty that's going to end with the mashiach hashem very soon we see the power of tiller is something extraordinary we need to dive we need to pray i know somebody he's a lot older than i am had a lot of kids and he once told me one of his kids caused him the most incredible incredible anguish he really he behaved in the most terrible way continuously he said he behaved like a wild animal that's the way that he describes him like a vilde and then one day he came round to my house and he gave me an invitation to this kid's wedding and i saw that the kid was getting married to a a very a very important family a very dignified family so i asked him what happened and last time i heard he was busy complaining about how wild this kid was he told me the most incredible thing he says his kid was now the biggest mass mid in his yeshiva he was sitting and learning 14 15 hours a day non-stop the most incredible turnaround so i said to what happened and this is what he told me he said you should know on this kid i did yush i gave up entirely it didn't make any difference what i told him it didn't make any difference what i said or what i acted or anything he just did not pay any attention and did whatever he wanted so in the end i gave up he said but the one thing he never stopped doing was he never stopped saying to hillary for that cap for that kid whenever he had a spare moment another chapter of psalms another chapter of psalms another peric of tehillim it just kept going and going over and over again starting and restarting and restarting and he told me this story maybe 25 years ago and i remember he looked at me and he told me rebruven i'm telling you never ever underestimate the power of tv listens to every single prayer that we give we should hear all our prayers i'll be
