Prayer is the heart of Judaism. Just as the heart receives the blood from all the limbs, oxygenates it and then pumps the blood back into the organs to enliven the body. So to prayer lifts up the soul of all of creation to its divine source and then infuses a re-energized life force into the cosmos. This process only works when the person is spiritually healthy, if however one has a spiritual blood clot that can interfere with the circulation of the G-dly life force. A stronger force than prayer would then be required to reconnect the person with the cosmic energy flow.
