I love praying, yes dear rabbi, we pray for our own benefit, to make ourself to god and be aware of who we are. May god bless you dear rabbi. By the way I am Muslim.

[@larrywilliams5490]

Im Christian,but I get good instruction and wisdom from JLI.I connect on a spiritual level with Rabbi Breitowitz.

[@bertrandprenat]

As a Catholic, I can relate to this! Thank you Rabbi for the explanation! ✝️❤️✡️

[@heathersteinhoff9540]

Thank you Rabbi.

[@johntesfay3621]

Wow I’m a Christian and very spiritual person but i hope its not too bad to admit I was fascinated by this amazing perspective the rabbi shared on prayer! So epic!

[@DoreenBellDotan]

We pray to change of thoughts, emotions and purify our Body. We don't change God's mind. We change our *perception* of God's Will.

Beautiful and Iam Encouraged

This Is Wisdom! This Illuminates My Mind for Right Action! I love you for explaining this! Thank you that our frequencies connected! I love you so much!!!!

[@dorian4559]

Amen Rabbi! Prayer brings about a change of mind for us. A self judgment which connects us the the reality of Gods mercy. It's also crucial for our relationship with our maker...

[@Meeskait1992]

Thank you Rabbi 💙

[@chooselife903]

I think God hears us and wants us to “keep in touch” and letting Him know what our needs are too. Ultimately God uses our connection to change our world by His relationship with Him. Thanks Rabbi.

I'm no rabbi, but Torah tells us that several times Moses, Abraham and MANY others have prayed with the exact intention of changing God's mind about something. So why is this rabbi telling me that prayer can't change God's mind?

[@MrBrunoGI]

Because G-d isn't a man, G-d doesn't makes mistakes, and everything that happens to us is carefully calculated for our own benefit, whether good or bad, because in reality we only see fragments of the whole picture, now what we can do if things are too painful is to do an instraspection of how we can change the conditions of our own character, because ultimately things that befall us is for us to react, when we pray like the Rabbi says we aren't asking Hashem to correct his mistake but rather help us correct ours and in doing so the remedy changes, this is when we pray for ourselves, but when we pray for others we should act as an attorney for others behalf and point out the merits and the good, all the prophets prayed on behalf of others very seldomly for themselves to the contrary they accepted what ever Hashem decreed for them because they know G-d knows best.

[@healthylifestyle1970]

I enjoy his explanation and I like your question.

[@arifv.s.8640]

I love this channel,

[@MrBrunoGI]

Beautifully said but what about when we pray for others, are we changing our perception of those we pray for and in essence becoming advocates for others?

[@wakojonathan515]

How are you my rabbi🤩, I just love everything about this. God bless u

[@myJLI]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Terratracer1909]

Prayer can be looked in this way: when we pray we are in a boat, and HaShem is the shore. When the anchor is thrown ashore is the shore brought to the boat, or does the boat move closer to the shore?

[@patrickbly4170]

Oooh....

[@mayanlogos92]

Prayer makes you more grounded and realising God exists... one who doesn't believe in God or not truly believe can't truly pray ... I believe. You can change my mind, please 😁

[@NetanelColish]

Wow!

[@Odihmantich]

so cool!

[@newnormal1841]

Praying is to balance ones electrical body energy. 🤺💐

[@roseizsvak5051]

I love you. Hashem bless you I am Christian. You give me hope I want to know G.d

[@zaephyrdelacroix7051]

How is the root of the word prayer written in hebrew? Thanks

[@jieworthy4175]

Interesting thought, here is my question, if pray is the action to renew prayer to be a "new person" so that God will treat you differently from the previous "old person", does this still mean your action of pray change God's mind which is impossible?

[@janterrell5408]

Prayer Is To Praise God And Stay United With Him. "The Lords Prayer". Do Not Constantly "Ask" God For Things. Prayer And Meditation Are Similar. When We Please God, W e Ask What We Can Do For Him.

[@eugene65yo49]

prayer is to calm myseft even no real answer to be expected

[@emmanuelogbuji4622]

How to pray please

[@nathanreid904]

If you remember me I remember you

[@manonamission2000]

Pray with Tehillim... if you have trouble finding the right words

[@deanasadi110]

Only prey should be is to thanks his blessing Evan the day is not our fever. Any other pray means you don’t believe him and his plan
