Today's word of the day is, TEFILLAH. This is the Hebrew word for PRAYER
How often do we use prayer as nothing more than an emergency call or a cold call to God?
Too often we only pray when we need or want something from God - which is understandable considering the English word "pray" means to "ask or beg". But the Hebrew word for prayer - tefillah - means to "self evaluate”. So to the Jews of the Bible, prayer was not a time when they asked God for things … it was a time when they examined themselves. They would use prayer as a way to compare their actions, behavior and attitude against God’s holiness.
Could this idea change your prayers today?
