It's so hard not to bribe G-d. Sometimes I find myself doing this and feel guilty, especially on Shabbat when one isn't supposed to ever. I usually bribe G-d for other people, not my own, or do I? How do we pray not too? And does he listen when bribes are recited and felt in the heart?
Sometimes I wonder if G-d bribed Adam and Eve when he told them not to each the unkosher fruit. Was this a way of growth and leaving home? Reply
