We pray and He answers with blessings. But we ask, “If you are already giving us blessings, why in such clumsy packages with so many strings attached?”
And He answers, “If you are giving me your innermost heart in prayer, why in such thick layers of ego? Why with such cold words? Why do you hold back your tears?”
“I’ll make you a deal,” He says. “You bare your souls from their wrappings, and I will bare My blessings of their clouds.”
'unwrapping' what a beautiful reminder for total openness and sincere honesty when having a heart-to-heart with G-d! Reply
Beautiful. Profound in its simplicity, as one is encouraged to 'be' in a state of awareness, every moment of who we are, what we are.
A gift we can give ourselves. I am going to remember this as often as I can beginning with right now. Thank you.

Selfless and Speechless Prayer
G_d does not want to hear what you want to receive for your self and he is not interested in words!
He wants you to ask for the collective - then through them you will receive more than you hoped for!
He does not hear your words - He is only moved by the feelings from deep within you!

Heart in prayer
G-d is testing us. Ha-shem is testing us everyday to see how well we can endure his trials. In other words, Such as, Peek-a-boo.
Thank you

Unwrapping I liked this one. I'll have to remember to bare my soul to G-d in prayer from now on. Reply

This is beautiful. And it has humor. And most importantly, it is truth.

We imagine conversations with G-d, but that is all they are, imaginings. They impart insight and wisdom, yes. But very, very few mortals have had the previlege to speak for the Creator. His aspect, his thoughts are beyond the scope of our understanding. But these dialogue are from the hearts of men who dearly love him, they say the things he would have us hear, that we may understand.
