HaShem sent you into this world for a reason. To grow!
Your Yetzer Hara (Evil Inclination) lets you:
Pray 3 times a day
Learn Mussar (Torah instruction)
Learn Gemorah (Talmud)
Do Mitzvos
The one thing your Yetzer Hara
does not want you doing is thinking
about HaShem.
When you start thinking about HaShem,
you start to serve HaShem.
The Yetzer Hara will no longer be the boss.
Your Yetzer Hara will tell you:
“Leave HaShem out of this!”
Note: The evil inclination is an inner drive that
pulls a person away from service of HaShem.
It is in constant conflict with the
Yetzer Tov (the tendency to want closeness to G-d).
If you think about HaShem for a half-hour a day,
You feel you have more hours in the day.
Why?
You will have
Siyata D’shemaya (heavenly assistance).
You will become thankful to HaShem.
You then do everything with HaKodesh Boruch Hu.
Note: Siyata D’shemaya literally means heavenly help.
This is the divine assistance you get
from your intense beliefs and prayer.
It helps you in all areas of life.
You will become a happier person.
You start realizing that so many things
you worry about are not important.
You then realize HaShem
knows exactly what He is doing.
HaShem sends you into this world for a reason,
to Grow!
“You develop greater happiness, clarity,
and Menuchas HaNefesh (calmness of the soul).”
You will not be confused about life anymore.
This is the purpose of Bitachon!
Your connection to HaShem
One way to build your connection
is to speak to Him personally every day.
Saying a verse of Psalms
during your personal prayers
should be as if your true Friend is listening to you.
He is really there.
You are doing something tremendous!
Just feeling HaShem is listening
is in and of itself a tremendous avodah.
