This story was called in by my very, very choshuva talmid, R’ Simcha Elefant. He was going to spend Pesach at his parents’ house in Scranton and he arrived a few days before Yom Tov. Since he needed his suit to be tailored, he asked his parents, “Do you think the tailor will be able to get it done before Pesach?” “Probably not,” they answered honestly. “We know he’s backed up as it is, and he works very slowly. Your brother gave him a whole pile of stuff to fix, and he said it’s going to take him all week to get it done. Now, it’s only a few days before Pesach, so we don’t see it happening. Nothing doing.” R’ Simcha told himself, “It really does look impossible, but that’s only if I go with Teva – with the laws of nature. If I go with Emunah and Bitachon, it’s a different set of laws. It’s a different Shulchan Aruch. I’m going to have Bitachon that I’ll ask the tailor to fix my suit, and he’ll agree to do it on the spot, right then and there.” R’ Simcha took his suit, went to the shop, and showed it to the tailor. “When do you think you can have this ready?” he asked. “I’ll do it right now, on the spot,” the tailor answered, and he began working on it right away! R’ Simcha was delighted! What made this story even more incredible and amazing was that a few more people came in after R’ Simcha as the tailor was working on R’ Simcha’s suit. The tailor told them, “I’m sorry, it’s going to take at least a few days for me to get through all the sewing I still need to do. I can only do your alterations after I’m done with those other jobs.” With R’ Simcha, who was going with Emunah and Bitachon, he did the job right on the spot, with the best service, better than ever!

This story was called in by a Mrs. Raziel. She said that she has a three-year-old son and a five month- old baby girl, and the three-year-old was very, very jealous of the baby. He bothered the baby, hurt her, and did not let the baby breathe. That’s a mother’s worst nightmare to see her three-year-old on top of the baby every two seconds and to pull him off, over and over, to keep the baby safe. When she shared the problem with her niece, the niece replied, “I listen to the telephone hotline, A Life with Bitachon, and I keep hearing stories of the way Hashem is in charge of EVERYTHING, even emotions. I’ve used this concept with all different kinds people, and in all sorts of circumstances, and I’ve seen the most impossible situations turn around. What you need to do is speak as if you already see Hashem’s Yeshua. First daven, and ask Hashem to change your son’s emotions towards the baby. Then say, out loud, that you know the three-year-old is going to love the baby and they’re going to play together so nicely.” Mrs. Raziel started saying, “Wow, look! They’re the best of friends! They’re getting along so beautifully.” She did this even though it was totally not true. The next day, Mrs. Raziel woke to see her three-year-old playing a real game with the baby for the first time in his life! They were having such fun! She could not believe the power of her positive words! The whole atmosphere in her house changed, improving day by day until it was better than ever! Read more: Daily Bitachon #1847
