Indeed, it goes to the very essence of Jewish belief, that G-d is one and that He is infinite, unlimited and omnipotent, empowered in every way. Nothing can occur beyond His control, because, quite simply, there is nothing that can exist independent of Him. In the world around us, everything takes on definite dimensions, both in time and space. It is difficult to understand a realm in which such barriers do not exist. However, although my mind had a difficult time understanding it, my soul understood it instinctively.
All souls do.
For a soul is, in essence, a spark of the Divine. It can never be satisfied by the pleasures offered by the physical world. It always wants more, desires something greater. It yearns to touch the infinite, to touch G-d Himself. Part of the expression of that yearning is prayer.
