I wanted to say that just before I saw part of it I had been thinking of the problem of simony. That is money for miracles. This is the Jewish world is called a "pideon", that is money you give to a tzadik in hope for a miracle.
When you need a miracle you should go to the source of miracles directly -to God. But the idea of Talking with God in ones's own words is much more important than saying psalms or written prayers.
He said it is impossible to be a kosher person without this kind of approach--that is talking with God in a private place every day. One should go to a forest or someplace in the wilderness and spend the whole day just talking with God in ones own words.given a limited amount of time to talk with God, it is best to go to place where you can be alone and talk with God from your own heart in your own words rather than go to any kind of religious setting.
