The Power of Modim
The Gemara says in Masechet Berachot that a person is not allowed to make personal requests during the first three berachot of the Amida which are designated for praise, nor during the last three berachot which are designated for thanking.
The beracha of Modim is so powerful. There are opinions who say that if a person did not have kavana during the first beracha of the Amida, he can still make it up if he has kavana in Modim.
The Belzer Rebbe said, when a Jew thanks Hashem properly in his tefila, no prosecuting angels can hold back that tefila. The Mabit writes in his sefer Derech Hashem that the main part of the entire Amida is Modim.
Let us utilize every Amida to thank Hashem more and fulfill one of the main purposes that we were put on this earth, like it says, עם זו יצרתי לי תהילתי יספרו
