What’s the secret for hatzlacha for you and me? Here’s the recipe for a bracha: tefilla is the ___!

Regarding the 1000 troops from each shevet that Moshe Rabbeinu needed to send to fight a war against Midian in this week’s parsha, Midrash teaches:

”אֶּלֶּף לַמַטֶּּה... “ יֵשׁ אוֹמְּרִּ ים שְּׁנֵי אֲלָפִּים מִּכָל שֵׁבֶּט וְּשֵׁבֶּט שָׁלַח, וְּיֵשׁ אוֹמְּרִּ ים שְּׁלשֶּׁת אֲלָפִּים מִּכָל שֵׁבֶּט וְּשֵׁבֶּט: שְּׁנֵים עָשָר אֶּלֶּף מְּשַׁמְּרִּ ים אֶּת כְּלֵיהֶּם...וּשְנֵים עָשָר אֶלֶף לִתְפִלָה .[במדבר רבה, מטות כב, סימן ב]

“One thousand per shevet” Some say that Moshe sent 2000 [troops] from each shevet, while others say that Moshe sent 3000 [troops] from each shevet: [Twelve thousand to battle,] twelve thousand to guard the weapons,...and twelve thousand for tefilla. [Bamidbar Rabba, Mattos 22:2]
