WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
Our Avot and Imahot were from the greatest people who ever lived. They brought so much satisfaction to Hashem and were so loved by Him. Yet, their lives were filled with difficulties. They had to wait years and years to have children. They had to cry buckets of tears and pray thousands of tefilot until they finally got their yeshuot. Esav and Yishmael, on the other hand, had children right away with no difficulty. They were able to marry right away also with no difficulty. One might ask, does that seem fair? The answer is, if this world was only about this world, that would be a good question, but there is so much more than meets the eye. We have so much to achieve in this world of toil in order to live on forever in the real world of eternity.
One of the greatest ways to elevate ourselves is through heartfelt tefila and, usually, when a person has a very pressing need, that brings out the most heartfelt tefilot. We are in this world on a mission. We need to get as close to Hashem as possible and when we find ourselves in need of salvation, it usually brings out the spiritual part of ourselves the most. And then, after all the heartfelt tefilot, if we see that glorious salvation from Hashem, it brings us to such a state of closeness to Him. We feel overwhelming gratitude knowing that it was Him who helped us.
