So perhaps by way of introduction to the bracha of Borei Chalim, first thing is the Chofetz Chaim says a person should stop, think, pause before they start the bracha and say Rabbeinu Sholeinah, Master of the Universe, I want to request Paranasa and a blessing from the year.
I want to bless you on that.
In fact, the Chosev Reblin says that a person should absolutely daven that they have enough parnasah, enough material sustenance, enough money.
In fact, they should daven for that first, and then daven for their spiritual needs.
Why do we first daven for our physical, material needs, and then our spiritual needs? Because it's a Mishnah.
If there's no materialism, then there can be no spirituality.
We're created as a body and a soul.
If we don't have our bodily needs taken care of, we cannot nourish and nurture our soul.
In fact, the Bunnu of Psishka says something very interesting.
If a person would daven only for their spiritual needs and not daven for their material and physical needs...
They only daven for their soul, they don't daven for their body.
They don't daven for financial well-being at all.
This is actually a sign that when they daven for spirituality, it's not sincere either.
Because it means they're not being real with their needs.
Because you can't have one without the other.
Therefore, if we daven just for our spiritual selves without davening for our material, physical selves...
It shows that this is not a sincere prayer, because we're just not real with our needs in the first place.
It says that a person should have it upon us every single day.
And it says that's true even for a person that has plenty of money.
They're not lacking financially at all.
Because really, davening is not just about what we're lacking.
It's the recognition that everything comes from Hashem.
So it's a question of davening for it, even if we feel we don't need it because we've got it in the bank.
