Story said over by R’ Zevy Golombeck: Yosef*, a talmid of mine, follows ‘A Life with Bitachon‘. One day, he couldn’t find his debit card. The bank called him up and asked him if he was missing it, because someone just spent $100 on it, in an electronic store. Normally, he would have been very uptight and upset, but now he just started laughing and laughing. He was able to remain calm. B”H the bank said that they will refund him the money. Yosef was amazed about himself that his first instinct was to laugh, which was something he had to work very hard on. Read more: Bitachon #107

A Yid from England had a wedding in Eretz Yisroel. He went with his family of ten for two weeks. He lives on a Kollel budget and had a lot of expenses in Eretz Yisroel. At the end of the two weeks he realized that he had racked up 5,000£ on his credit card. He had no idea how he would pay for it. But he was mischazek in bitachon that Hashem has many ways to help him. When he got back to the airport, his flight was delayed more than three hours. The policy of that airline is that if a flight is delayed more than three hours the passengers get compensation. For each member of his family he received 520 pounds which totaled 5200 pounds! Enough money to pay his entire credit card bill! [Kav Hashgacha Pratis] Read more: Bitachon #106

I’m at work now and was just reading through the Spring Hill Times. One of the staff members needed assistance with the elevator in the building so I went down to help her. Usually, it’s the flick of the elevator switch and ensuring that the key is in place that makes the elevator operate. Both the key and the switch were set correctly – there was no reason why it wasn’t working. I tried flipping the switch and re-inserting the key – but no luck. Tried again and still nothing. I stopped and said – Bitachon means that Hashem is in charge and Hashem is the ONLY force of power. It’s not the key. It’s not the switch. I said this again as I flipped the switch and turned the key – and the elevator came to life!! Thank you, Hashem for the gift of seeing how the Mitzvah of Bitachon works! I read these stories all the time – but it’s an entirely different feeling when you experience it yourself – try it!! (Reader of The Spring Hill Times) Read more: Bitachon #105

My family was on a trip. We were starting to pack and leave when we noticed that the roof rack straps were all knotted together. My brother tried to untangle them but it didn’t work. So he gave it to my sister. I noticed what was happening so I said, “Hashem is the Kol Yachol and He could do anything.” A few minutes later, it got all untangled and we were able to put it on the roof. Thank You Hashem.

One of Mrs. Jaffa’s* kids had warts that were multiplying out of control. They went to the doctor and he said that the child would have to take heavy dosages of medication every month. Mrs. Jaffa* said, “Who is in charge of medication? The doctor? No, Hashem! Hashem can make it that after one time, they will disappear.” And that is exactly what happened! They came to get the medication once, and after that, they never went back to the doctor! Read more: Bitachon #100

R’ Yitzchok Zilber had to go to a certain person’s house, but he had no idea where the person lived. He called a cab and told the driver to go straight. The driver went straight and then asked R’ Yitzchak again “Where should I go?” R’ Yitzchak said to go straight. They kept going straight for a while until the driver said, “Enough! I am tired of going straight! Where should I go now?” So, R’ Yitzchak said, “Okay turn right.” The driver turned right and kept on driving. Finally, the taxi driver said, “This is crazy! I don’t know where I am going and what I am doing, this is just not working for me. Please get out!” So R’ Yitzchak got out and asked a man that was passing, “Do you know where this man lives?” the man said, “Yes sure! He lives right there.” R’ Zilber went to the house and yes it was the man he was looking for!! When you live with Emunah and Bitachon you see big Nissim!! Read more: Bitachon #98
