Menuchas Hanefesh: Embracing Tranquility & Joy through Bitachon

Menuchas Hanefesh Above All!

Mrs. Weinberg was late for her child’s eye doctor’s appointment and called to see if she could still be seen. The receptionist said that if she could come within seven minutes, then yes; otherwise, there would be nothing to do. Mrs. Weinberg thought to herself, “The doctor said seven minutes, and he’s very firm about it.” Then she thought to herself, “There’s no way I’m going to get there in seven minutes. If I rush, it’s going to rob me of my menuchas hanefesh and simchas hachaim. That’s not proper hishtadlus.” So she decided that she would go calmly, and she said to herself, “While I’m having Bitachon, not only are they going to take me, they’re going to be nice to me! They’re going to be friendly, easy-going, and geshmak!” When she came to the office,  even though she was late, the secretary said, “Wow, it’s so amazing you came. I’m so happy!” The nicest greeting in the world!!   Read more: Hashem Loves His Yeshiva Bochurim!

We do our part, and Hashem will do His part.”

Mrs. Fried* from Eretz Yisrael was looking high and low for a new apartment. People told her that what she was looking for was a dream and that she was never going to get it. “Just take whatever you can get.” Somebody called her up and said that they knew of an available apartment; she should come to check it out. It had nothing that she wanted, but she said to herself, “Hishtadlus isn’t cause and effect. We do our part, and Hashem will do His part.” They went to check it out, and on the way, they saw a sign for a different apartment.

You just do your part, and Hashem will do the rest!   Read more: Bitachon #49
