אות - סח

The Rebbe often spoke to us about conversing with God. Speak to God so as to focus on your purpose in life.

Have pity on yourself and beg God to help you find Him.

Use whatever language you speak best and argue with God, petitioning Him in every way. All these thoughts are brought in the Rebbe’s published works, 101 See “ His Praises ” #10; “ His Wisdom ” #7, #117, #229, #234; Tzaddik #436-443; Likutey Moharan I, 108, 156, 259; ibid., II, 25, 93, 95-101. The entire book, Hishtafkhut HaNefesh (published in English as Outpouring of the Soul by Breslov Research Institute), deals with this topic. but beyond this, he would frequently discuss this most important concept.

If you set aside a time each day – at least an hour – to converse with God, you will surely be worthy of drawing close to Him.

You may do this for days and years, apparently without effect, but in the end, it will help you reach your goal (see “ His Praises ” #12; “ His Wisdom ” #234) .

The Rebbe said that this is how King David conceived the Book of Psalms ( Likutey Moharan I, 156) .

He also said that the main time King David secluded himself with God was at night, under his covers in bed. Hidden from the sight of all others, he would pour his heart out before God. This is the meaning of the verse, “I speak every night on my bed in tears” (Psalms 6:7) . 102 The Rebbe himself frequently followed this practice ( Avenehah Barzel , p. 31, #36). See also “ His Wisdom ” #275; She'arit Yisrael #13.

Happy is he who follows this practice, for it is above all else.

Look carefully and read what is written in Likutey Moharan II, 95-100. Follow what is written there and you will be worthy of truly expressing your thoughts to God.
