Our Rabbi, may his memory be a blessing, cautioned us many times, in several wordings to make prayers from the teachings. He would say: That one should make from this great delight above. He would say: That still, the only delights like these that would go up before Hashem Yitbarach were not delights made from prayers (in general)) rather that are made from the teachings. Further, he would say this many times with many people.
רַבֵּנוּ זִכְרוֹנוֹ לִבְרָכָה (הוּא אַדְמוֹ"ר הַגָּאוֹן הַקָּדוֹשׁ אוֹר הַגָּנוּז וְהַצָּפוּן מוֹהֲרַ"ר נַחְמָן זַצַ"ל בַּעַל הַמְּחַבֵּר לִקּוּטֵי מוֹהֲרַ"ן) הִזְהִיר אוֹתָנוּ כַּמָּה פְּעָמִים, בְּכַמָּה מִינֵי לְשׁוֹנוֹת לַעֲשׂוֹת מֵהַתּוֹרוֹת תְּפִלּוֹת. וְאָמַר: שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה מִזֶּה שַׁעֲשׁוּעִים גְּדוֹלִים לְמַעְלָה. וְאָמַר: שֶׁעֲדַיִן לֹא עָלוּ שַׁעֲשׁוּעִים כָּאֵלּוּ לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ כְּמוֹ אֵלּוּ הַשַּׁעֲשׁוּעִים שֶׁנַּעֲשִׂין מִתְּפִלּוֹת אֵלּוּ שֶׁעוֹשִׂים מִן הַתּוֹרוֹת. וְעוֹד דִּבֵּר מִזֶּה כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה פְּעָמִים עִם כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה בְּנֵי אָדָם:
