Prayers Stir the Mind

SimchaMinute by Rabbi Avigdor Miller 

Inside of each one of us is a deep fountain of inspiration. Every man possesses greatness within him, but he needs something that will draw it forth and cause him to begin producing that which he is capable of becoming. Therefore when we say certain words and do certain acts, it’s an incentive for our mind. It stirs our mind to begin thinking and produce the emotions and attitudes that these acts symbolize. — Asking Hashem
