What We Really Want


המצא לנו בבקשתנו כמה שכתוב ובקשתם משם את השם אלהיך - Be found for us in our requests as it says "And you sought out Hashem from there" [from selichos]. Even though we are in this bitter galus and suffer so much materially and physically, our main request is that we find Hashem. All of our requests, even the material one's are really just in order to enable us to get close to Hashem. Therefore the pasuk continues "ומצאת כי תדרשנו בכל לבבך ובכל נפשך" - And you will find Him because you sought Him out with all of your heart and all of your soul. When you really want Hashem and for the right reasons - you will find Him.

[The Klausenberger Rebbe in Shefa Chaim]
