Good Morning Bitachon of the day ❤️
Our job is simply to push ourselves as hard as we possibly can, to the borders of our personal limit, and trust that Hashem will carry us the rest of the way. Our job is to put in maximum hishtadlus (personal effort) and trust that the miraculous results will come from Hashem.
When we put in the effort and connect ourselves to Hashem, Hashem gives us the rest, giving us more than we could ever imagine.
When praying to Hashem, we hope for our prayers to be answered, yet uncertainty remains about whether it aligns with Hashem's will or if our requests are in harmony with His plan.
Regrettably, as human beings, we often struggle to see beyond these uncertainties.
The majority of us experience profound sadness when we earnestly pour out our cries, tears, and supplications to Hashem, only to receive answers that fall short of our desired or anticipated outcomes.
From a point of knowing nothing to my current state of spirituality, I acknowledge that I've attained this level because of my own determination. No one obliged me; in fact, the yetzer hara (evil inclination) attempted to hinder my progress numerous times.
I witnessed firsthand that getting closer to Hashem, believing, and trusting in Him brought me hope, joy, and peace.
How can I retreat? How can I doubt that Hashem is always by my side? I experience anger and frustration like everyone else, but my trust in Hashem has helped me past obstacles much quicker. I used to stay upset for extended periods and hold onto grudges indefinitely. Now, I feel much lighter.
I know I gave it my all and did my part, but Hashem had a different plan for me. There's nothing I can do about it, so why harbor a grudge and stay upset when it won't change anything?
Entrusting your life to Hashem signifies your belief that it is always in His hands. Those around you witness someone living with faith and unwavering trust in Hashem, which can inspire them to emulate.
In the midst of turmoil, Hashem calls us to take action and support our brothers and sisters, urging us to pray for the release of our hostages. When we talk to the soldiers and those who were present during the Nova festival, they all share that despite going through a terrifying experience, they witnessed Hashem by their side, calling Him “Aba” recognizing that the situation could have been much worse.
With no guns and no soldiers to assist them for over 10 hours, the 3500 people attending the festival faced a tragic situation where over 350 lost their lives. Each life lost feels like a piece of us is taken away, yet given the circumstances, it could have been even more devastating.
They could have taken countless lives with numerous rockets launched and thousands of terrorists invading the festival with guns and Kalashnikovs.
When we consider the Las Vegas shooting, where one person killed 58 and injured over 500 in less then 11 minutes.
While the reasons for this atrocity remain unknown, and we are all suffering repercussions from it, I strongly believe that Hashem was present, actively working to save as many lives as possible.
May we push ourselves to our limits and trust in Hashem to carry us the rest of our way amen 🙏
Wish you all a wonderful day ❤️
