There is a special prayer called the Shemoneh Esrei,
We say it three times a day,
Amidah is another name for this prayer,
Amidah means to stand before our creator.
Hashem we've never seen,
To stand before Him what does it really mean?
Imagine you are an actor in a play,
You were given lines to practice and say.
As the dramatic scene unfolds, you don't like what you see,
You scream "Cut! I need to talk to the director immediately!"
The director is as busy as can be,
Yet he takes the time to listen patiently.
All of a sudden you begin to tremble in your heart,
You stand in awe and don't know how to start,
You are not standing before a director of a Hollywood scene,
Hashem is the director of heaven and earth and everything in between.
You ask the director to open your lips, because He knows your part,
So that you can use your mouth to praise Him with all your heart,
Hashem desires a relationship with every Jew,
Hashem wants to hear your perspective and view.
When we Daven, Shmoneh Esrei, quietly,
We are speaking to the director of the world privately,
Hashem listens to our needs, worries and fears,
Hashem is our loving father who cares!
Hashem says "I know that the accident scene isn't pretty,
And that in the dentist's chair you don't want to be,
But there is a plan that you can't see,
I will take care of everything, don't worry."
