אות-נה

Prayer demands holy brazeness The quintessence of prayer is through holy brazenness (azoos di'kiddoosha), for it is necessary to be brazen faced against Hashem Yisburach to ask from Him concerning everything one needs, even for the making of miracles and wonders, for it is impossible to stand in prayer before Hashem Yisburach except by means of holy brazenness, because every person, to the extent that he fathoms in his heart the greatness of the Creator blessed He, and sees his own lowliness and inferiority, how can he stand and pray before Him? Therefore at the time of prayer, a person needs to dispel the shame, and be brazen faced to ask from Hashem Yisburach everything that he needs, as mentioned above. And this is the aspect of (Psalms 22:6), “to You they screamed out and they escaped, in You they trusted and were not embarrassed.” (Likutay Moharan, Torah 30; Likutay Aitzos, Prayer 36).
