Grant me the ability to be alone, May it be my custom to go outdoors each day among the trees and grasses among all growing things and there may I be alone, and enter into prayer to talk with the one that I belong to.
Prayers truly from the heart open all doors in Heaven.
While praying, listen to the words very carefully. When your heart is attentive, your entire being enters your prayer without your having to force it.
Proper praying is like a person who wanders through a field gathering flowers-one by one, until they make a beautiful bouquet. In the same manner, a person must gather each letter, each syllable, to form them into words of prayer.
The best weapons of a Jew are his prayers.
Where there is no peace, prayers are not heard.
Before reciting his prayers, a man should give to charity.
