Why ancient prayers in foreign languages feel distant

I pray in Hebrew because that's how I learned but I don't speak Hebrew and lately I wonder if God hears me better when I use my actual thoughts instead of these sounds I memorized.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sacred language can become a barrier rather than a bridge when it separates the pray-er from their own authentic voice.
