Some religious practices ask that you pray for the poor or for the less fortunate. Other prayer, in contrast, deals only with yourself and your correction. Your job is determine what you need in order to be complete. They pray to advance in your completeness.
This does not mean that you do not care about other people, especially those who need extra help. Correction means becoming altruistic instead of egoistic. Therefore, caring for others is “built-in” in the prayer. If you are not praying to become altruistic then you are not praying for correction anyway.
Being poor means being deficient, not having something. But why pray for something instead of working to get it? Because there is one thing that, no matter how hard we work for it, we will never get by ourselves: the Creator’s quality of bestowal. So praying for the poor is wanting everyone to have the quality of bestowal because that the only thing they can’t find on their one. Those who pray for the poor, for others, are rewarded first.
Your opinions?
those who pray for the poor don’t have to give them food…

If god is all knowing woldn’t he have some kind of ‘plan’
and praying for your own personal desires, would probably, very rarely go along with those plans.
do people think god changes his plan to help them specifically,when they pray? or is it just a nother form of worship
QFT!
Kabbalists encourage you to be involved in society. You can interact with people or give them a helping hand. But praying for others’ condition is praying to have the quality of Creator’s quality of bestowal. Private correction is individual, but it would not be possible without the help of other Kabbalists, past and present. Collective prayer is also the desire that all souls reach correction , not just your own. Because all souls are connected, the progress of each soul makes a difference to the whole. When everyone does not seek correction, it is like having some students in a school class that have not read the textbook: it stops everyone in class from learning.
This is why Kabbalists spread the word of wisdom through books and learning centers to help others to correct.
