Do you stay calm under pressure and feel HaShem will Help you?
I can’t pay my bills. What do I do?
Someone calls Rabbi Yisroel Brog telling him:
“You know, I can’t make the month with the money I have.
Maybe I can cover half of my expenses.
This is with all my preparations of Prayer (Davening)
and Trusting HaShem (Bitachon).”
Rabbi Brog asks:
“If you have Bitachon why
are you worried?
Did HaShem ever tell you that he would give you the money
upfront for the entire month?
He never said that.
What HaKodesh Boruch says is:
If you are bituach (trusting) I will take care of you.
What are you worried about?”
The Baal Bitachon is at peace.
He knows he has done what he has to.
He is confident that after
he uses the little money
he has for the month,
HaKodesh Boruch Hu will somehow provide him
with livelihood (parnossa) for the rest of the month.
Since he trusts HaShem,
HaShem will give him a respectable blessing
that does not require excessive effort.
This is because he honored HaShem
with great Bitachon.
HaShem will honor him
measure for measure (mida kineged mida) and
provide him a livelihood without excessive effort.
Everything will be fine!
Question:
Do you feel overwhelmed when
life seems more than you can bear
or
do you stay calm and trust
HaShem will help you?
Let us know what you think.
