Reply To: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

Repeating from above Brochos 7. The Sefer Beis Elokim from the Rav Mabit in Tefila, 2 explains the meaning of:
לעולם יסדר אדם שבחו של הקב’ה ואחר כך יתפלל, A person should always organize Hashem’s praises and daven afterwards. Does Hashem ch’v need flattery? We must realize that when we daven we must keep in mind that Hashem is the Master of the Universe and only he can fulfill our needs. Therefore the reading and writing of Hashem is integrated into one. If we want a matnas chinom we must be aware of this. It says in Shulchan Aruch O’CH 98,5 that a person should not daven because of his good deeds that he has because then they will examine his behavior and actions.
