Welcome to the daily Chizuk (encouragement). Someone told me they have a daughter who has been dating for years. She went out with a lot of boys but just couldn't find a match. She decided to hang a sign on her refrigerator with the pasuk (verse) Hayad Hashem Tiktsar. This pasuk was said when Hashem was questioned about how He could provide meat for the entire nation in the desert for 30 days. Hashem said, “Is my hand limited? I could do anything.” This girl would look at that pasuk every day before she prayed to give her Chizuk. She didn't want to settle. She prayed for the best guy. And she recently got married to the boy who had everything she was asking for.
There are many people who feel that their problems are too big, and they limit their Tefilot (prayers). I once heard a line: “Instead of telling Hashem how big your problems are, tell your problems how big Hashem is.” You never have to settle when it comes to Hashem. Never pray that a person should be partially healed or just stay alive for a few more months. Ask for a complete recovery. It's all the same for Hashem. Rashi on the pasuk Harchav Picha Va'amalehu says, “Hashem tells us, ‘Open your mouth and ask me for kol ta'avat libecha, anything your heart desires, Va'amalehu, and I will grant it. And the more you ask, the more I will give.’” Rav Chaim Shmulevitz explains that it's the understanding that Hashem can give you everything you want and that only He could help that makes the Tefillah so powerful. And that type of Tefillah, Hashem will answer right away. Don't think you're bothering Hashem. He loves when you ask.
The Gemara in Masechet (tractate) Ta'anit tells us that Rabbi Elazar ben Pedat was very poor. One day he fainted, and Hashem appeared to him. The Rabbi asked Hashem, “Why am I so poor? Can you give me more money?” Hashem said, “Well, you were born under a certain mazal (fortune) of poverty. But if you want... I could destroy the entire world and start over again. And maybe you'll be born under a mazal of wealth.” The Rabbi said, “No, Hashem. I don't want you to destroy your world for me. It's okay.” Hashem said, “In the merit of not telling me to destroy the world, I promise you 13 rivers of Afarsemon (balsam) oil in Olam Haba (the World to Come).” The Rabbi said, “That's it? I want more, Hashem.” Hashem said, “But what about your friends? I have to save some for them.” The Rabbi said back, “Am I asking from someone who doesn't have enough? You could give me a million rivers, and you could give them a million rivers.” Hashem said, “Ah, I love that statement. What a beautiful line.” Hashem gave him a little slap of love on his forehead. Rabbi Shimshon Pincus asked, “Why did Hashem give him a little smack to show the love? Why didn't He give him a kiss?” Rabbi Shimshon Pincus said that Hashem was giving him a message. Hashem said, “I love when you told me I could do anything, and I have enough rivers for you and your friends. But how come, when you ask for money and I told you I have to destroy the entire world to give it to you—why did you accept that? Why didn't you say, ‘What? Destroy the world? Hashem, you could give me money in a second. It's nothing for you’?” That's what Hashem wants to hear.
This is the attitude we have to feel. Nothing is too hard. Never limit your prayers. Chana was praying for her child for 19 years. One day she went to the Mishkan and poured out her heart. She asked Hashem for a son who was going to be a zera anashim (a son). Rabbi Yochanan in Masechet Berachot says she was asking for a child who was going to be as great as Moshe and Aharon put together. She didn't just ask for a normal, healthy baby. She knows Hashem is limitless. Why should I settle for anything less than the best? And she got exactly what she asked for. She got Shmuel HaNavi. Pray to Hashem for as much as you want. Just know that Hashem can give it to you, and that only He can give it to you. Have a great day.
