Daily stories from the “A Life with Bitachon” hotline.
This story was called in by a very, very chashuva neighbor, by the name of Rabbi Binyomin Kaplan. He came over to me to tell the most gevaldig amazing bitachon story he just experienced firsthand. He saw the power of what it means to have, every day, a seder k’vuah, to learn about emunah and bitachon, how through that he was zoche to nissim geluim and yeshuos lema’ala miderech hatevah. And he said, going back six months ago, he got a polyp in his vocal cord, and it was affecting his voice. So he went to a specialist, and he asked what to do about it. And the specialist said, “I can give you some exercises. There’s a very slight, slim chance that it can get better on its own, but probably it won’t, and therefore you’re going to need a procedure.” The specialist said, “If you want, you can come back in four months’ time. We can reevaluate the situation, and we’ll see if it gets better or on its own.” Throughout the four months, he was doing the exercises that the specialist told him to do. He came back after four months, and the specialist looks, and he says, “Not only did the polyp not get smaller, but actually it even got bigger. And now I see there’s not even a chance in the world for it to get better on its own. The only way to get rid of it is you’re going to need a procedure. Schedule an appointment, and with that, we’re going to help you out.” So he scheduled an appointment for two weeks. Throughout those two weeks, he kept up his learning every day all about emunah and bitachon. He arrived at his appointment, and the specialist looked and said, “One second, I don’t see the polyp anymore. It just simply vanished and disappeared in thin air. I’ve never seen anything like this before!”
