Divine aboundance

From the book "Forest Fields" by Rabbi Shalom Arush

Prayer is the means whereby we bring Divine abundance from the upper spiritual world to our low material world.  The words of prayer are vessels of abundance.  Imagine that a person is a wheat field at the time of harvest: the owner of the field invites him to take home as much wheat as he can carry.  An unprepared person tries to stuff as man;y wheat grains as he can in his pockets, and carries whatever he can in his fists.  Maybe he'll walk away with a pound or two of wheat.  But if the same person comes prepared for a burlap sack, he'll be able to walk away with a fifty pounds of wheat.  Even more,so, if a person comes  to the field with a pack mule and four burlap sacks, he'll walk away with two hundred pounds of wheat.  In like manner, the more we pray, the more we create receptacles for Divine abundance.
