“The disciple of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov went to him:
“I cannot talk to God.”
“This often happens,” said Nachman. “We feel that our lips are sealed, or that the words do not come. However, the simple fact that effort is needed to overcome the situation, is a beneficial attitude.”
“But it is not enough,” insisted the disciple.
“You are right. At such times, what you must do is look up and say: “My God, I am far from You and cannot believe in my voice.”
“For, in truth, God listens and always answers. It is only we who cannot speak, fearful that He is not paying attention.””
