Furthermore, HaKadosh Baruch Hu has arranged the world in such a way that we will always feel that we are dependent on Him. No one ever feels so content that he feels he needs nothing, everything is fine—except for a rasha whom Hashem has cast away from Him, because He doesn’t want to hear from him at all. But an average person, who tries to follow the right path, will always feel something is lacking. Sometimes these are genuinely big challenges—and then he needs lots of tefillah and chizuk—and other times they are more minor problems; seemingly, every time he wants to sit in peace, some challenge crops up.
And the reason for this is obvious: If a person had everything he needed, he would become distant from Hashem. He would say, “Ribbono shel Olam! You can go on Your way. If I need anything, I’ll reach out.” When a person has worries on his mind, he will always stay close. He will always need to daven. Sometimes, he has to daven harder at רפאנו, and sometimes during other berachos of the davening.
