This story was called in all the way from Tzfas by Mrs. Benjamin. She was walking with her six-year-old granddaughter, Esti,* and they were passing by a store. Esti* said, “Bubby, I really would like a tape dispenser. Can we get it from this store?” Mrs. Benjamin said, “Sure, but I don’t even know if this store carries it. We can go in and check.” They looked where they sell all their tape, but there was no tape dispenser. They looked high and low, all around, all over. They looked here and there, but it was nowhere to be found. Mrs. Benjamin turned to her granddaughter and said, “Shefala, sorry. They don’t have it over here. They don’t carry it. We have to look somewhere else.” Then she said, “Let’s start singing to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. “Hakol Yachol…. Hakol Yachol….” Esti said, “Look! I just found it. It was all the way in the back of a couple boxes.” And with that, they walked out with their tape dispenser, with the best service, better than ever!

This story’s been called in by a very, very chashuva yungerman by the name of R’ Binyamin Prater. Not too long ago, he had a baby. Many times, his baby was cranky. He thought to himself, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if I would have a rocking chair to sit on. I’d be able to rock back and forth to calm down my baby?’ Then he thought, ‘Do we really want to spend money on it? Is it really worth it? Is it so important? It would be nice, but it’s really an extra. Later on that day, someone sent him a message that they were looking to give away a rocking chair, free of charge. It was used, but it was still in very good condition. First come, first serve. He called up, and he said, “Is it still available? Can I come pick it up?” They said, “sure, of course, no problem.” He said, “Okay, I’m coming at once, I’m coming right away.” As he was on the way, they called him back and they said, “Oh, I’m so sorry to tell you, but it was already taken.” He turned to go back home, and he said, “It’s already taken? That’s if they’re in charge, it’s already taken. But if Hakadosh Baruch Hu, the Rebono Shel Olam is in charge, then He can give me not only another rocking chair, but even a bigger and better one. I don’t need them to give it to me, I need Hashem to give it to me.” The next day, he got a phone call from the same person, and he said, “Yesterday you called us up that you wanted a rocking chair. That didn’t work out because somebody else took it. But, I was just schmoozing with my friend, and I told him what happened, and my friend said, ‘Oh, I have a brand new rocking chair that I don’t even need, and I’m looking to get rid of. Have that person come and pick it up from me. It’s on my porch, brand new in its box.’” In no time, R’ Prater was able to get a brand new rocking chair, free of charge, with the best service, better than ever! Read more: Daily Bitachon #1864

This story was called in by Miri* Rosenfeld. She went with a group of her friends to a random park to study for a test. After they were there for a while, they needed a ride back. They called different people, fathers, mothers, relatives, but nobody was able to pick them up. They thought, “Oh, what should we do? We’re in this random park. Nobody else is here. It’s getting late. Nobody’s able to pick us up. We’re far away. What are we going to do?” Then they said, “One second, Hakadosh Baruch Hu is the one in charge. Let’s all be mechazeik.” They sang “Hakol Yachol.” Suddenly, they saw a bus. It was one of their neighbors, a frum yid who is a teacher and drives a bus in their neighborhood. He asked them, “Do you need a ride anywhere?” Miri said, “Yes!” He said, “I just finished my route, and I came to this park just for two minutes, just to breathe, just to air out. I’m going right back home. If you want, I can give you door-to-door service, free of charge!”

This story was called in by a Mrs. Mizrachi. She said she was looking all over for her phone. It was very, very important that she find it by the next day as she didn’t know how she would manage without it. She spent a long time checking every place she could think of, combing the whole area, and turning everything upside down, but it was nowhere to be found. Then she had a thought: “Who’s in charge of finding my phone? You think it’s my eyes? No, it’s my loving, caring Father, HaKadosh Boruch Hu, the Ribono Shel Olam. Hashem is a Kol Yachol who can do anything and everything. He knows exactly where my phone is. I’m accepting upon myself not do any more hishtadlus – I’m not looking for my phone anymore. I’m leaving it up to Hashem to put it right into my hands. Where, when, and how, I have no idea, but I’m going to trust in Hashem.” Later that day, she saw a bookshelf that needed straightening. As she was putting the books back in order, what fell into her hands? Her phone! It was somehow stuck between two books! She had no idea why it was there in the first place or who had put it there, but Hashem gave her the best delivery service, right into her hands!

This story was called in all the way from Tzfas by Mrs. Benjamin. Her oven isn’t connected to a gas line; it runs on tanks of gas which are delivered by a gas tank company. One Thursday she ran out of gas, and needed a new tank delivered immediately so that she could cook for Shabbos. She called the company, and asked, “Is there any way that you can make sure I get it by tomorrow? I need to start cooking for Shabbos.” “I’m sorry,” they said. “Nothing doing. If you want, you can pay an extra 60 shekels for expedited delivery, but even then, it won’t come before next week. There’s nothing we can do for you.” And they hung up the phone. Mrs. Benjamin thought, “They said there’s nothing they can do for me. But I really need gas right now, so how am I going to work this out?” Then she stopped, and said to herself, “Wait, who’s in charge of when the gas should come? You think it’s up to the company? It’s up to Hashem. Does Hashem need me to pay extra for speedy delivery service? HaKadosh Boruch Hu can do it for free. He’s a Kol Yachol; He can do anything and everything.” She turned to Hashem and said, “Hashem, I’m not paying one extra shekel for delivery. I’m just going straight to You.” Friday morning, there was knock on her door, and there was her order – all the gas that she needed to cook for Shabbos, with the best service, better than ever!

This story was called in by a very, very choshuva yungerman by the name of R’ Yehoshua Wax. He had applied to a sleep-away camp for one of his children and was told that in order for them to reserve a slot, he had to pay the entire camp tuition up front, $2,000. “They want ALL the money right now?” he thought. “Where am I going to come up with an extra $2,000 out of the blue? They aren’t even letting me pay in installments. What should I do?” Then he said, “One second, who’s in charge of paying my bills anyway? It’s my loving, caring Father, HaKadosh Boruch Hu, the Ribono Shel Olam. He has all the money in the world. He’s a Kol Yachol; He can do anything and everything. I’m going to throw this bill up to HaKadosh Boruch Hu.” Shortly afterwards, the phone rang, and one of his relatives called. “I was thinking of sponsoring one of your kids’ camps. Do you have a child who wants to go to camp?” “Yes, I do; I actually applied to a camp for one of my kids,” R’ Yehoshua answered. “But do you know how expensive it is? They want $2,000 up front.” “Well, here it is,” said his relative. “It’s coming your way.” And in no time, a slot was reserved for R’ Yehoshua’s child by this relative – who was sent by R’ Yehoshua’s loving caring Father, the Ribono Shel Olam!

This story was called in by a very, very choshuva yungerman, Rabbi Gross. He had an eye doctor’s appointment for his son and the office was about an hour’s drive away. They set out early enough, but then they ran into very heavy bumper-tobumper traffic. The clock was ticking, the traffic wasn’t moving, and saw they would never make it on time. They called the doctor’s office to tell them about the delay and the receptionist said, “Sorry, our policy is that if you’re more than 15 minutes late, we reschedule your appointment.” “We REALLY don’t want to turn around when we’re already halfway there,” they thought. “Still, at the rate we’re moving, we’ll get there an hour late. There is probably no point in continuing to the doctor.” Then they strengthened themselves and said, “Who’s in charge anyway? You think it’s the doctor? You think it’s the receptionist? Its HaKadosh Boruch Hu, our loving and caring Father, the Ribono Shel Olam. He can do anything and everything. Hashem can make it that we get there an hour late, and everything will be fine.” They continued driving to the doctor, singing Hakol Yachol all the way. When they arrived, the receptionist was surprised to see them. “Oh, I thought we had already canceled your appointment. Well, I guess once you’re here, I can ask the doctor if he would agree to see you. But I know how he works. He doesn’t make exceptions to the rule.” Two minutes later the receptionist returned. “I just spoke to the doctor. He said he remembers one appointment where he kept you waiting for a long time, and he feels bad about it. So he said he’ll see you right now.” And in no time, she took them to an examining room, and then the doctor came right in to see them – with the best service, better than ever!

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!

This story was called in all the way from Gateshead by a very, very choshuva yungerman, R’ Avraham Schwartz. As he was driving a friend to a car rental, his friend told him that he had ordered a regular car (Car A) because it’s much cheaper, but he really wished he could get a more comfortable car (Car B) without having to pay more. R’ Avraham told him, “With Emunah and Bitachon and believing that Hashem is a Kol Yachol, you can get whatever type of car you want, without paying extra. When we get to the rental place, you point out any car you’d like, and say, ‘I believe that Hashem is a Kol Yachol, and He can give me this car (Car B) at the regular price. I don’t even have to ask them for an upgrade. All I have to do is ask Hashem.’” They arrived at the car rental, and R’ Avraham’s friend pointed out Car B, a more expensive car that he really liked. When they went to the counter to finalize the rental, and the clerk said, “I know you reserved Car A, but we’re going to give you a different one at no additional cost.” With that, the clerk pointed to Car B, the exact one R’ Avraham’s friend had chosen, with the best service, better than ever!

This story was called in by Yitzchok Aaron Sternfeld who brought his car to the mechanic. A short time later, the mechanic called him up. “Your car is ready; you can come pick it up.” “How am I going to pick it up?” he thought. “I don’t have an extra car for someone to bring me there, and I don’t want to take anyone out of their way by asking for a ride. I think I’ll just start walking regular without even looking to see if I can get a hitch, while saying to Hashem, ‘You’re a Kol Yachol. You can do anything and everything. You’re the One in charge of rides. You can have someone call out to me asking if I need a ride so I know I’m not inconveniencing them.’” He started walking, and suddenly a car pulled over. The driver lowered his window and asked, “Do you need a ride?” “Yes, I’m trying to get to the mechanic.” “That’s exactly where I’m going,” the driver said. “Come in! I’ll give you door-to-door service!” Read more: Daily Bitachon #1860

This story was called in by a Mrs. Gleiberman who had a newborn baby girl. When Mrs. Gleiberman had to return to work, she made arrangements to send the baby to daycare. But they said in order for them to accept her, the baby has to take a bottle nicely. The issue and problem was that her baby was NOT taking a bottle at all. She spoke to many friends, and one said try THIS type of bottle, and another said try THAT type of bottle. Mrs. Gleiberman tried every single type, but her baby was not taking to any of them. Other people suggested that the baby might be more comfortable if someone else – not the mother – would give the bottle. Mrs. Gleiberman tried having other people feed her baby, but to no avail. Nobody was able to get the baby to drink. “What do I do now?” she thought. “This feels so complicated. What a big issue! What a problem!” Then, she was listening to “A Life with Bitachon” – the Bitachon Hotline, and she heard that a person should never make anything into an issue or problem or label anything ‘complicated.’ Rather, a person should say that everything is easy – because for HaKadosh Boruch Hu it really is! For Hashem nothing is complicated; nothing is a big deal; nothing is hard. When a person does that, Hashem says, “If you realize everything is easy for Me, then I’ll make it easy for you.” Mrs. Gleiberman started saying (totally insincerely), “Wow, it’s so easy to get my baby to drink a bottle! My baby LOVES the bottle. It’s so easy, 1-2-3, no issues or problems; no big deal.” Then she tried bottle-feeding her baby, and she was amazed to see her baby drink it up smoothly and easily!

This story has been called in from Eretz Yisrael by Mrs. Veiner. It was getting later in the evening, and she had to go to her local grocery store to buy french fries for supper. In the past, when she went to the grocery at this time, there wasn’t always french fries available. She was thinking that this time she really needed french fries, and she needed two packages. When she arrived, she saw that there was nothing left. She looked high and low, all around, here there and everywhere, but to no avail. There weren’t any packages of french fries left, just as she remembered from the other times she went too late. Then Mrs. Viener said, “One second. The other times I went with teva, laws of nature. If you come late, there are no more left. But this time, I’m going to go with realizing it’s Hakadosh Baruch Hu in charge. She started being mechazeik herself, “Hakol Yachol.” Suddenly she saw somebody coming and putting back two packages of french fries! She took the packages, paid for it, and walked out with exactly what she needed! Read more: Daily Bitachon #1858
