I recently learned in a Beur Tefilah class that there are certain things we shouldn’t daven for. We learned that this is because the power of Tefilah is so great that sometimes HaShem gives you what you want even if it isn’t necessarily good for you only because you’ve asked for it so many times E.G. – Davening to marry a specific boy, for a specific work position. The issue with asking HaShem to marry a specific boy is it won’t be bashert (or your zivug). The issue with davening for a specific work position is that it truly might not be to your benefit. Is this a true concept? Should we not daven for specific things? Also, is it possible to know if HaShem has answered a Tefilah?
Hey!
Well, sometimes in certain situations you gotta give up control, you say Hashem, not in my control! Please just do what’s best for me.
When I was trying to get into schools, that’s what I davened for, it felt so good knowing the choice was so not in my hands and whatever it would end up it would be best and with a lot of siyatta dishmaya from all my tefilos.
We can daven for certain things too, like for someone to get healthy. For all we know the almost completed their tsfkid and it’s the end, but we don’t stop davening.
It’s not our job to figure out when we should be specific or not. I suggest in big things, like marriage, jobs, daven that you will have a good one that will what’s best for you, with good middos/good bosses and co-workers or whatever. If you go on a date or interveiw just daven for siyatta dishmaya and that whatever happens you will be able to see it’s yad hashem. You can daven it will go well, but not that you get the job or the boy. I don’t think that’s for us to decide. Daven Hashem takes care of you, keeps your emotions at bay, your hopes from being so high, that he is with you, and doing what is best and if it’s bashert that it will work.
I will daven for something like to be succesful in life, in school, with my friends. That _____ gets a therapist ASAP, and _______ and me stop fighting. But it’s petty sutff, I know if it’s not bashert it just won’t happen. It’s more me venting to Hashem and just talking to him like he is my daddy b(which he si)
Just let it flow, Hashem knows what he’s doing MUCH better than you. Don’t try to figure it all out. You can’t know if Hashem answered your tefilah, something that happens could have been destined from before hand, on a zechus of someone in shamayim, or someone else’s tefilah.
Wishing and davening you have much siyatta dishmaya and hatzlacah!
Do’s & Dont’s? 1st and most critical Don’t:- Under NO circumstances ever have a cell phone ring in a Shul nor during Davening! Period! No exceptions.
2nd:- Never answer a cell phone in Shul nor during Davening! Period! No exceptions!
