HOD: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 7th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה  of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

” I HAVE LABORED AND FOUND, DO NOT BELIEVE”

The Creator, who created it and gave the evil
inclination its strength, evidently knew to create
the remedy and the spice liable to wear off
the power of the evil inclination and eradicate
it altogether.
And if one practices Torah and fails to
remove the evil inclination from himself, it is
either that he has been negligent in giving the
necessary labor and exertion in the practice
of Torah, as it is written, “I have not labored
but found, do not believe,” or perhaps one
did put in the necessary amount of labor, but
has been negligent in the quality.
This means that while practicing Torah,
they did not set their minds and hearts to
draw the Light in the Torah, which brings
faith to one’s heart. Rather, they have been
absent-minded about the principal requirement
demanded of the Torah, namely the
Light that yields faith. And although they
initially aimed for it, their minds went astray
during the study.
