Daily Bitachon #1861

This story was called in all the way from London by a Mrs. Brown. She was cooking a lot of food Lekovod Shabbos and one of her stove top burners was broken – and hadn’t been working for the longest time. “Oy vey, do I need to call a repairman AGAIN?” she thought. “O.K. I’ll call. But first I’ll call A Life with Bitachon and listen to a story.” As it happened, the story that day was called in by Mishpachas Greenbaum who said that she’d had a problem with her washing machine. She kept trying to turn it on, over a dozen times, and it was not working. “The only way to get this fixed is through a repairman,” she thought. “Unless I can think of a better idea. Do I really want to spend the money now? Do I really want to call a repairman now?” She really didn’t feel like starting with that whole hassle. “I know! Let me just reach out to Hashem. He’s a Kol Yachol. He can do anything and everything. Hashem,” she said. “I’m leaving it up to You.” This time when she turned on the washing machine, it started working perfectly. After listening to the story, Mrs. Brown said, “Let me do the same thing as the lady with the washing machine. I’ll turn off all the burners, and then I’ll turn them back on. But this time I won’t just use the knobs. As I’m turning them, I’m going to say out loud that I’m using the knob of Kol Yachol.” With that she turned on stove, and amazingly, every single flame on her stove-top was working – better than ever!
