What has Hashem done for me?

What the Rav said:

Before Shacharit [the morning prayers], think about some miracle or Divine Providence which Hashem has done for you, and that way you’ll pray with more Emuna.

My thoughts:

Prayers sometimes feel repetitive. And, morning prayers are more difficult to concentrate on if we’re tired, or thinking about the day ahead.

Here the Rav gives a wonderful, and simple, piece of advice.

On the way to davening, whether you’re walking or in your car, take two minutes to think about a time when Hashem did you a kindness, or where you really saw His presence in your life.

Like the Rav says, your morning Shacharit will be completely different!
