Thirsting for Hashem's Words

 ב"ה

I know I'm probably not the first person to realize this but given that I used to think I shouldn't bother Hashem with my little problems, this is like a thunderbolt to me -- and it only took me 67 years of learning and a video from Tovia Singer -- Tovia said that the Greeks believed that G-d didn't have time for them and didn't interfere in their lives. So by asking Hashem for the little things I not only "testify" that G-d helps us even on the small things but that He's involved in our lives even while taking care of the cosmos, making sure all the stars shine and the galaxies orbit and the planets and space objects are aligned for us here on earth (which is just a rock if People aren't here) as the pinnacle of Hashem's creation -- and all roads lead to people as those keeping Hashem's mitzvot. This is why I think it's important to spread the word of the sheva mitzvot to the nations of the world. But we Jews are too afraid to missionize (so to speak). It's not missionizing so much as showing the world what Hashem wants and, after all, isn't that what being the "Chosen People" is all about????

And there is a question the Rabbis discussed -- is it good that Christianity came or bad -- I think it's good because these are people -- especially here in the US -- who are thirsting for G-d but they don't understand yet. So the more we teach them (without being too obvious???) the more they drink up

There's a song I really love: 

הנה ימים באים והשלחתי רעב בארץ לא רעב ללחם ולא צמאה למים כי אים לשמוע את דברי 

Behold the days are coming [says G-d] and I will send a famine on the land Not a famine for bread and not a thirst for water but to listen to the words of Hashem
