Do you know HaShem loves you unconditionally no matter what you do?

You should view Bitachon (Trust of HaShem) similar to a parent-child relationship.

HaKodesh Boruch Hu (HaShem) loves you unconditionally no matter what you do.

Just like you love your child unconditionally, no matter what he does.

You expect your child to feel secure in your home.

In the same way HaKodesh Boruch Hu wants you to feel secure in His world.

Another reason why Bitachon is so important for you:

Bitachon affects your Avodas HaShem (Service of G-d).

But even more importantly, Bitachon defines your relationship with Hakodesh Boruch Hu.

He is your Father and He cares only for you, His child!

When you internalize this, you will feel calm.

A fundamental understanding of Bitachon:

HaKodesh Boruch He cares for you,

He wants you to feel secure in His home.

He wants you to feel calm no matter what situation you are facing.

What removes your Menuchas Hanefesh (calmness of soul)?

You see bad things happen to other people.

You begin to wonder:

“How do I know something bad will not happen to me?”

Something bad happening seems reasonable.

You become nervous.

However, do not think this way.

The Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) is distorting your worldview. It is magnifying the bad things in your life while getting you to ignore the good things.

The Yetzer Hara gets you to focus on all the bad until you see the entire world as a frightening, dark and intimidating place.

Note: The Yetzer Hara is a soul HaShem places in the heart of every Jew to challenge their Divine Soul.

It provides you challenges and inner turmoil needed for you to get rewarded for serving HaShem.

The Yetzer Hara is the main reason your life is so challenging.

In reality, if you look at your life and do a Cheshbon (Accounting) you realize most things are good.

You must train yourself to focus on these good things.

However, things that look bad are there to bring you to your true purpose of coming closer to HaShem.

This requires work.

How do you overcome your inner voice that pressures you to do things you should not do?

What are you thinking.
