Why Should You Count Your Prayers?

"Bless upon us all its produce for good" (Shemoneh Esreh)

We do not recognize the kindness of Hashem when we speak of it in general terms, because in order to understand anything and to recognize it with True Knowledge, it is necessary to consider its details. The lack of recognition of the kindnesses of Hashem is also equivalent to a lack of prayer. We must enumerate (at least in our minds) all that we are requesting of Hashem in order that we be aware that all of these particulars come solely from Him. -- Praise, My Soul
