DEUT575 Pray to Hashem. Hashem, Creator and Master of the world, wants good for His creations, so He teaches them to fulfill His commandments, all of which are precious opportunities for them to earn merit and good. In order to benefit them, He opens the door for them, and by entering they are able to attain all of their wants. He gives them the opportunity to pray to Him for all of their needs, for His [sic?] has the power to meet their needs and will respond to all who call out to Him in truth. In addition to having informed us of this opportunity, Hashem commands us to take advantage of it and regularly request from Him all of our needs and heart’s desires. What is more, the mitzvah fixes in our minds and makes us more aware that He is to be Master of all good and blessing, and His eye surveys all of His works and all that we do, and at all times He hears our cries to Him. Through fulfillment of this mitzvah we strengthen our belief in Him, in His Kingship and in His unlimited powers, until no doubt remains in our minds about these matters. We recognize that there is no power before Him that can stop or hinder Him from doing whatever He wishes.
