The Midrash says: “Did Yaakov conquer Shechem with sword and bow? But ‘my sword’ is his prayer, and ‘my bow’ is his supplication.” Why is prayer like a bow? Just like a bow, the more a person draws the bowstring to himself, the further the arrow flies, so it is with prayer: the deeper one delves into one’s own heart, the higher one’s prayer ascends. -Rabbi Mendel of Kotzk
