I'll try again. The question is, how can you daven for another person's bechira? To me it seems, we daven for other people for so many other things, including insight, that v'haser yagon v'anacha, inner peace (which I've heard many people say is included in Sim Shalom). And that's just Shemoneh Esrei. We also say Birchas Hachodesh in lashon rabim where we ask for all sorts of spiritual needs to be filled.
So it seemed that we can daven that another make good choices.
And like all tefillos, we shouldn't get discouraged if our tefillos don't seem to be fulfilled.

So It's interesting because I remember hearing a shiur about A tzadik who davened for a Rasha who was bothering him to die and his wife told him daven that he do teshuva and he did so and teshava was made.... The question was how can you daven....bechirah....

The answer I remember hearing was that you don't take away bechirah , but they get that inner moment with themselves (the inner voice that we always get once in a while telling us we better change...) that they should do teshuva , they still have the choice not to...

So I guess its more of a siyata dishmaya...

its just that I read that the way we parent with love etc makes a childs bechirah bigger so to speak.

so if a person really isnt at fault - he was brought up a certain way or abused in childhood and really isnt capable of doing better and has no idea even its wrong as he has a really small bechirah or no bechirah at all how can tefillah change that?

Wow this is why I need imamother. I need a yeshuah for something. I was sitting around thinking that I'm sure when all the flames are burning than it must be an auspicious time. I looked no further than imamother. And I got it . So tonight as in Sunday night . I can write now down my bakasha and wrap it around.? Also what are other segulahs to do on this special day?

We just found the notes we wrote last year in the box. I didn't see it when I took out the menorahs before Chanuka, so I didn't remember everything I asked for. Last year I asked for a lot of things around 20 or more. I am publicizing that BH some were answered. Hope Hashem will send us shidduchim and other yeshuot that we davened for last year and this year.

Chanukah is over but I wanted to post my husband's yeshuah. He asked last year for help in Parnassah and a few months ago something fell into his lap without him doing any hishtadlus for it.
