Rebbequote_graphic

September 19, 2017 by Rachel Waxman

Hasidic rebbes taught that when distractions arise during prayer, one should pray with one’s distractions rather than shooing them away… The thoughts that arise out of left field, however unpleasant or unwelcome, often come from places buried deep within us, almost as if they are a gift from God, an invitation to look directly at them. It is as if they are a reward for getting our minds to settle down sufficiently in prayer, thus having allowed them to emerge from the shadows.
