It is important to gradually ascend from level to level in prayer,⁵³ so that all your strength is not exhausted at the beginning of your prayers. Rather, begin with moderation, and then, in the middle of your prayers, bond yourself with great adhesion to HaShemthrough the words of prayer. You will then even be able to say the words of prayer quickly, without breaking your bond.

footnotes: ⁵³ See Kuntres Inyan Tefilah by Rabbi DovBer of Lubavitch, translated as Praying with Passion.

Even though at the beginning of prayer you cannot pray with such great adhesion to HaShem, nevertheless, say the words with great concentration of intention and strengthen yourself little by little, until HaShem, blessed is He, will assist you to pray with great adhesion to Him.
