Welcome to the daily chizuk (encouragement). Some people use the gift of tefillah (prayer) to pray to Hashem, and some people use it to live with Hashem. Tefillah is not limited to three times a day. Hashem is always with us, and you can talk to Him in your own language. The great Rav Bunim from Peshischa said, “I have advice for anyone who never wants to be lacking and always connected to Hashem.” He said, “Accustom yourself to pray and ask Hashem for every little thing.” And don't think you have to be in shul (synagogue) or wearing tefillin (phylacteries). Wherever you are, whatever you need, ask Hashem, and bevadai (certainly), He will grant your requests.
We have to become like David HaMelech (David the King), who said in Tehillim, va'ani tefillah, I am a prayer. Somebody called me a couple of months ago. He was having business problems, and he hadn't gotten a big order in a while. He was contemplating cutting out some of his learning time to get a side job. So I asked him, “Before you talk to a customer, do you ask Hashem for help?” He said, “No.” I told him, “You have to bring Hashem into your life more. Ask for Hashem's help all the time in your own words.” He said, “Okay, I'll try it.” He texted me back not more than ten minutes later: “I just got a big order.” Live with Hashem.
A man once went to visit the great Rabbi, the Lev Simcha, complaining that he was alone in the world. He said he had no friends, no family. He had problems and nowhere to turn. The Rabbi helped him with his immediate issues and told him, “You're alone? I have the best friend for you. Become friends with Hashem. He's the best friend you could have. He could solve all your problems, and you'll never feel alone again.”
Bring Hashem into your lives. If a person is going on the road, ask Hashem to protect you. When you go to work, ask Hashem for success. If you have an important meeting, talk to Hashem first to get the results you want. If you're looking to buy a house and you're not sure what would be better, whether it's about the location or the actual house, ask Hashem for help. If a woman is preparing dinner, ask Hashem that it should come out good. The children aren't behaving. Ask Hashem that they should be more well-behaved. If you're trying to get married, talk to Hashem. Ask Him.
A girl who recently got engaged just told me she was on her sixth date with Hashem, with the boy, and was basically convinced he was the right guy, but she was very nervous. She said, “I wanted to feel more at ease.” So while she was on the date, she asked Hashem, “Please let me know if he's definitely the right one for me.” She said that two minutes later, they were stopped at a traffic light, and the license plate on the car in front of them said “nasib,” which is the Arabic word for marriage partner. She couldn't believe it.
Anything you want, talk to Hashem first. Nothing is impossible. Nothing is too small to ask for. He loves listening. He's waiting to hear from you. Whatever the issue is, if you have a decision to make, ask Hashem. He knows the answer. Try it. Bring Hashem into your lives all the time, and see how beautiful it will be. As David the King said, “As for me, being close to Hashem is the best.” Have a great day.
