  • 638 - Transform Your Bitachon! (Part-75)
    Jul 16 2026

    Guys today we have a very fundamental torah piece we’re going to be exploring. And this is authored by Rav Shlomo Eliyashiv, who is actually the great grandfatrher of the great Rav yosef Shalom Eliyashiv from our generation. Rav Shlomo Eliyashiv, known as the Leshem, because of his Torah work – Leshem Shevo Veachlama, in one of his books known as the sefer hadeah (Chelek 2, drush 5, anaf 4, siman 5), writes the following remarkable idea. One is to be so confident in their reliance on Hashem that their situation will turn out for the good and when a person is choosing to rely on Hashem, they can be so confident in that reliance on Hashem that Hashem will come through for them in exactly the way that they need and nothing whatsoever can distract Hashem from sending their salvation. Hashem will for sure come through for them.

    Because the concept of Bitachon is not limited to an explicit passage in the Torah such as when Hashem gave certain commands to our great ancestors in the Torah itself to do certain things, and then they were called on to have Bitachon to Him. Now one might argue, if Hashem also came to me in a revelation and told me to do something, I would do it and then I would rely on Him because He's told me clearly what I am to do. So one might argue, in situations such as the characters in the Torah itself where Hashem told them to do specific things and go on certain missions, they were able to have Bitachon in Hashem that Hashem would come through for them in exactly the way that was good for them and that He told them He would come through for them because He told them so. But me, Hashem did not speak to me and tell me that He was going to come through for me in the way that I am desiring. In fact, I am asking Hashem for Parnassah. I don't know if He wants me to have Parnassah. I am asking Hashem to give me health. I don't know if He wants me to have health.

    And says the Leshem, one of the most fundamental ideas behind this whole journey of Bitachon, but also the concept of Bitachon applies just as much to situations where there is no explicit command from Hashem in the Torah to rely on Him in that specific situation. By the fact that there are so many pesukim in the Torah that call on us to constantly reach out to Hashem and hope to Hashem and rely on Hashem, that He is the one that will take care of us and when we are in a challenging situation to look up to Hashem that He will send us our salvation, and many verses in the Torah, such as this example that the Leshem brings, promise that somebody who trusts in Hashem, Hashem will come through for them, it is as if Hashem has written this situation that we are going through in the Torah itself and telling us, you are to rely on Me and I will come through for you.

    So not only in situations where Hashem commands the individuals in the Torah stories themselves and says you are to go on certain missions, and even though it might seem like a dangerous mission, don't worry, I will come through for you in a good way. Bitachon is not limited to those situations. Rather, each and every one of us in our own situations. Because Hashem has commanded us in so many verses, when you have a problem, you are to rely on Me. So when I'm going through a challenging relationship and I come to Hashem and I say, Hashem please save me from this challenging situation. I'm relying on You and You exclusively to save me. It is as if Hashem has told me in the Torah, you are going to go through a challenging relationship and I am going to save you by the fact that so many pesukim command us to rely on Hashem.

    Any situation where we need Hashem and we choose to rely on Him, it was as if Hashem had commanded us to go through that situation and had pre-told us that He will come through for us. Bezrat Hashem in the next session, we're going to round up part 5 of our Transform Your Bittachon series. And thereafter, continue to the next section of our Bittachon journey, and with Hashem's help, together, transform our lives.

    Jul 15 2026

    We're moving forward now to the next Torah source we're going to be exploring. And this is a passage from the Chofetz Chaim (Zechor Lemiriam, Chapter 20). The Chofetz Chaim writes that we have found in the Torah a proof to internalize just how great the power of bitachon, of relying on Hashem is. And we can see this from the story in the Torah where the town of Sedom was about to be destroyed, and Hashem sent some heavenly angels in the guise of human beings to inform Lot on what was about to happen in order to give him a chance to escape and be saved. But again to Lot they appeared as human messengers. And as we know in the story in the Torah, that the wicked people of Sedom were trying to harm these messengers, these outsiders.

    And what was Lot's response to his wicked neighbors and people of the town? Please do not cause these people any harm. Why? Because they have chosen to take shelter in my roof.

    Continues the Chofetz Chaim, This means to say - They chose to rely on me that I am able to be their security and save them from you wicked individuals. And therefore Lot was begging his wicked neighbors, asking them please to leave these individuals alone. Why? Because they have relied on me. Again we are seeing here this most basic principle. When someone relies on you, you are accountable to come through for them. Lot understood this with absolute clarity and therefore the sole reason he asked his neighbors and townspeople to leave these individuals alone was not because they are good people or you guys are doing bad things, but rather please they have relied on me and therefore it is completely inappropriate for me not to be accountable and responsible towards them.

    And continues the Chofetz Chaim. We know from other Torah passages that Lot actually was not an upright individual whatsoever. Even though Lot was not an upright individual, he understood this most basic fundamental idea. That when someone relies on you, you are accountable to come through for them. And this story was written down in the Torah. The Torah passages are not just history lessons, but rather each episode that is recorded has a specific message and take home for us. And says the Chofetz Chaim that one of the most important take homes from this episode of Lot asking the people of his town to please leave his guests alone and not cause them harm because they have relied on him is to teach us that when someone relies on you, you are accountable and you must do anything and everything possible within your capacity and resources to make sure that those that have relied on you are taken care of in the way that they have relied on you.

    And continues the Chofetz Chaim. How much more so this applies to Hashem Himself who is not limited by human capacities with all our issues and problems and challenges that we have, that Hashem Himself is really the source of all mercy and compassion, when a person relies on Hashem with sincerity, Hashem will certainly help that individual to be saved from all forms of evil.

    Again, we see clearly in this beautiful passage from the Chofetz Chaim. When one relies on Hashem, Hashem will for sure come through for you and save you from the challenging situation that you are going through. It does not say here that hopefully He will save you, but maybe He might have other calculations why He might not come through for you in the way that you desire.

    No, the Chofetz Chaim is teaching us when you rely on Hashem, Hashem is accountable to come through for you for the sole reason that you have chosen to rely on Him. Bezrat Hashem, in the next session, let's continue with the next passage we're going to be exploring about Bitachon and with Hashem's help, together transform our lives.

    Jul 14 2026

    Guys, we continue this incredible Bittachan journey, so we discussed in the previous session, that when we rely on Hashem, he will not let us down. Because someone who is reliable does not let people down. A human king, who is supposedly reliable, does not let people down. How much more so, Hashem himself does not let people down. Now, before we continue with the next passage, I would just like to highlight an important fundamental principle that applies to all of Bitachon. And that is that, unfortunately, in today's day and age, many people do not have a good grasp of what it means to live with full responsibility and accountability.

    Hashem created us in this world with the opportunity to have free choice in the way that we respond to situations. And one of the things that we have free choice for is, are we going to be accountable for our responsibilities? So an easy example to relate to if someone has a newborn baby. Now, this baby is relying on its mother to give it its food. Now, it's obvious and easy for all of us to understand that a mother who would completely negate her responsibility to feed the child and just allow the child to go hungry is abusing her position of authority to this child who needs her to feed him. It is her absolute responsibility to make sure that this child is taken care of and fed.

    And in a similar vein, as children grow older, we are also responsible to take care of their needs. And similarly, husband and wife have responsibility and accountability to one another. And obviously, this idea can be extended to all areas of our lives, be it with friends and other relationships and with our business colleagues and the like. We are accountable for our actions and we need to take responsibility when someone is relying on us. A doctor is accountable for his patients who are relying on his services. And the same goes with any service provider who is accountable to do their best to come through for those who are relying on their services.

    Now, the reason we might have a difficult time initially understanding how Bitachon works is because, unfortunately, this concept of accountability and responsibility is sometimes foreign to the Western world way of thinking of our generation, where people are just looking to avoid all forms of accountability and responsibility and just live a life without responsibilities and just self-gratifying enjoyment. Whereas when one is privy to adopt the mode of thought of the Torah itself, which teaches us that people are supposed to be accountable and responsible, all the more so people in a state of high power, a president, a king and the like, where many people are relying on them. An upright and responsible person is certainly accountable for those relying on him.

    And certainly the greatest of the great king of all kings, Hashem himself, when someone relies on him and says, Hashem, I'm relying on you. I need you. Hashem will not leave that person hanging because if we are choosing to rely on Hashem, he knows we need him. He knows we are relying on him and he will therefore come through for us. This concept is a fundamental. B’ezrat Hashem, in the next session, we're going to move forward to the next Torah source in this part of our journey of the Transform Your Bitachon series and with Hashem's help together, transform our lives.

    Jul 13 2026

    Guys, I'm super excited to move forward, B'zrat Hashem, to the next section in our Transform Your Bitachon series, where the question we're going to be exploring with the accompanying Torah sources is, why must Hashem come through for me? And as we've alluded to in the previous sections, there could be many considerations in Hashem's books, why He might not come through for us. And perhaps most obviously we could ask, who says Hashem owes it to me? For what reason must we say that if I rely on Hashem, He must come through for me? B'ezrat Hashem, in this section, we're going to gain a better understanding of the exact mechanism of why it is that if we choose to place our Bitachon, to rely on Hashem, that He must come through for us.

    So the first Torah passage we're going to be visiting is the Midrash Tehillim (chapter 25, verse 2). And the Midrash says, there was a story that took place during the night time, in a certain town, where a man was arrested. And the Midrash now tells of the man's response to his communication with the police. The man begged them to leave him alone and not deal with him harshly, claiming he belonged to the family of the king. The police therefore left him alon, not dealing with him harshly, until the morning.

    In the morning, they brought this man to the king and they said to him, we arrested a man from your family. Now seeing as the king was not able to recognize this man, the king said to him, My son, do you recognize me? Do you know me? And the man says, no. So the king says to the man, If so, why did you tell the police that you are a member of the king's family if in truth you are not? The man said back to the king, I beg you. I am not a member of the king's family. But my king, I relied on you. Because if I did not tell the police that I was a family member of the king's family, they would have dealt with me harshly. And in order to save myself, I relied on you, my king. The king therefore said to the police, seeing as this person relied on me, let him go. Yes, he lied. He is not from my family and he has no particular merit to get off the hook for what he did. But just because of the sole reason that he relied on me, I will therefore come through for him and save him.

    Continues the midrash, So too, David Hamelech says, Hashem, my God, I have relied on you and therefore I am asking you, Hashem, that I should not come to any embarrassing situations. And because I have chosen to rely on you, Hashem, that is the reason that you should come through for me and not allow me to experience embarrassing situations. David Hamelech ends off in the midrash, and not only me, but rather anyone who places their hope and their bitachon in you, Hashem, will not come to embarrassing situations.

    What we're seeing from this midrash is really the foundation of how bitachon works. Because we are choosing to rely on Hashem, that reason itself is the motivator for Hashem coming through for us, even if we've done everything else wrong. But because we are saying, Hashem, I'm relying on you, please save me, it is not appropriate for Hashem to leave us hanging. Even by human individuals, such as the king in the story of the midrash brought, where the individual relied on the king, it would not be appropriate for the king to just leave the individual hanging, but rather he must come through for him. And in a similar vein, when anyone chooses to rely on Hashem, Hashem will come through for them because it is not appropriate for Hashem to leave an individual who's relying on him hanging.

    B'ezrat Hashem, let's continue on this incredible journey together about bitachon and transform our lives.

    Jul 12 2026

    B’ezrat Hashem, today we’re wrapping up this part of our Transform Your Bitachon series. Just a quick summary of what we explored in this section.

    We brought a passage from the Midrash to Tehillim (Chapter 31), which stated, שֶׁכָּל מִי שֶׁבּוֹטֵחַ בִּשְׁמִי אֲנִי מַצִּילוֹ — that anybody who trusts in Hashem will be saved. Again, highlighting to us exactly what Bitachon is all about.

    We thereafter explored a passage from the Zohar HaKadosh (Shemos 22a), which stated that when somebody is confident in their absolute Bitachon and reliance on Hashem, nothing and no one in the world can cause them any harm whatsoever.

    We then saw a piece from Rabbeinu Yonah (Mishlei 3:6), where he states that besides for the main reward for Bitachon, which is really going to be repaid in the next world and is much greater than anything you can receive in this world, תַּצְלִיחַ בַּמַּעֲשֶׂה הַהוּא — you will be successful in that thing that you are relying on Hashem for. It is not only that Hashem can help you in this situation, but you are able to rely on Hashem to such an extent that He will for sure help you in this situation.

    We then explored a piece from Rabbeinu Bechayei (Devarim, Chapter 11), that if a person has Bitachon in Hashem, יִנָּצֵל מִן הַצָּרָה — you will be saved from that situation. Again, Rabbeinu Bechayei highlighting to us that the mechanics of Bitachon is that if you trust in Hashem, you will for sure be saved from the situation that you fear.

    We then looked at the Maharal (Nesivos Olam, Bitachon, Chapter 1), where the Maharal stated that someone who has Bitachon in Hashem, כָּל הַדְּבָרִים נַעֲשִׂים לוֹ לְטוֹבָה — everything will turn out for you for the good. Again, the Maharal highlighting to us just how powerful Bitachon is, that when we place our reliance on Hashem exclusively, everything will turn out for the good.

    We then saw the Chofetz Chaim (Zechor L’Miriam, Chapter 20), where he says that כַּאֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בּוֹ הָאָדָם בֶּאֱמֶת — when a person relies on Hashem with truth and sincerity, בְּוַדַּאי יַעַזְרֶנּוּ הקב"ה לְהִנָּצֵל מִכָּל רַע — Hashem will for sure help you to be saved from all evil, again highlighting to us the tremendous power of Bitachon, that when we are sincere in our reliance on Hashem, it is an absolute that Hashem will save us from challenging situations.

    We then saw the Meshech Chochmah (Parashas Eikev, Devarim 10:20), where he said שֶׁבָּעִנְיָן שֶׁהוּא בּוֹטֵחַ יוֹשִׁיעֵהוּ ה' מִצַּד הַחֶסֶד — that Hashem will for sure send your salvation for the thing that you are relying on Him for.

    And the final passage that we are going to view in this section is a piece from the Sefer Beis HaLevi Al HaTorah (page 53), where he writes, עַל יְדֵי מִדַּת הַבִּטָּחוֹן יְכוֹלִים לְהַשִּׂיג כָּל דָּבָר — through the attribute of Bitachon you are able to attain anything.

    As we’ve mentioned so many times, the concept of Bitachon is literally all over the Torah, throughout Tanach, throughout Tehillim, and throughout Torah literature. Not only does Hashem allow us to rely on Him, but we are called, as the greatest mitzvah, to place our reliance in Hashem—not only to know that He can come through for me, but to trust that He will come through for me and send my salvation in the way that I need.

    At the same time, we internalize that the main reward for Bitachon is not receiving what we need in this world, but in truth something much greater than that, because the reward for us in the next world for just being on this Bitachon journey, trying to take steps forward, is much greater than anything we could even fathom as a reward in this world.

    At the same time, we remember that the precondition for the axiom of Bitachon, which Hashem created in the creation of the world, to work without any shadow of a doubt and without any exceptions, is to be so confident in Hashem without any backup plan—no plan B. And when I am able to reach such a state of Bitachon, there is nothing that can get in the way.

    As the Beis HaLevi is teaching us here, עַל יְדֵי מִדַּת הַבִּטָּחוֹן — through Bitachon, יְכוֹלִים לְהַשִּׂיג כָּל דָּבָר — you can attain anything in the world.

    What a tremendous privilege it is to be exploring these most potent and powerful passages about Bitachon. B’ezrat Hashem, let’s continue this incredible journey together and transform our Bitachon.

    Jul 9 2026

    We're moving forward now, Bezrat Hashem, to the next Torah source that we're going to be visiting. And this is a small piece from the Meshech Chochmah (Devarim 10:20) where he writes, “That in the particular matter that you rely on Hashem for, He will save you because of Hashem's kindness and mercy.”

    Guys, although the concept that we are learning might be repetitive, it is super important to see it again and again because this is not the normal type of bitachon, which is usually explored, and for good reasons, as we stated previously, because one of the dangers of bitachon is if somebody is taught that if you rely on Hashem, He will give you exactly what you need, and just takes that as a take-home, this could lead to a very dangerous conclusion, and that could be that he goes home, relies on Hashem to what he thinks is the best of his capacity, and then what happens - Hashem doesn't come through for him, and then God forbid this person can draw the tremendously mistaken conclusion that bitachon doesn't work, and then what does that do with all the information I have been taught about bitachon? Does it mean it's not true, God forbid? And this could cause a tremendous problem to one's emunah, in Hashem, in the Torah passages, and in emunah and bitachon as a whole.

    And therefore it is vital to learn the topic properly as we're trying to do, breaking It Up, into clear segments, asking the questions, and reviewing many of the Torah sources with regards to that particular topic, because as we know, the true perspective comes from Hashem, which is portrayed in His Torah and throughout Torah literature, and we are learning from the early classic Torah sources down to the modern day contemporary Torah sources, such as the Chofetz Chaim and the Meshech Chochmah that we just explored, that the true approach, according to Hashem's books, is that Hashem wants you to rely on Him in a confident way, that He will for sure send our salvation in the way that we need, and when we do so, He will for sure send our salvation. Not “maybe there are other considerations” - Bitachon is an axiom of creation. You rely on Hashem for something with sincerity, He will for sure come through.

    However, what is super important to continue to highlight to ourselves is that this will only work 100% without a shadow of a doubt as an axiom of creation if you are 100% sincere on your reliance on Hashem. That means, I don't know how I'm going to find a solution to my problem, I am relying on Hashem exclusively, and I have no plan B because I know He will come through. Why would I need a plan B? This does not yet touch on the topic of Hishtadlus, because this may lead to the question of, “if I rely on Hashem exclusively, why should I apply any of my own Hishtadlos - any of my own efforts?” And again, we'll get to that section, B’ezrat Hashem, where we discuss Hishtadlos in its own right. But for our purposes right now, it's important to highlight that although the main reward is just being on the bitachon journey and trying our best to grow in our bitachon, however, the axiom of creation that Hashem created, that when you rely on Hashem for something, you will for sure receive it, that works if you are 100% reliant on Hashem and reliant on nothing and no one else. And our job is just to take small steps each day and do our best to work towards moving closer and closer to absolute reliance on Hashem.

    Yes, it is a very high level to rely on Hashem with absolute sincerity to the point that I feel completely calm that I have no problems anymore. It's as if when I have a financial problem and my uncle calls me up and he says, listen, you don't have to worry. I am very wealthy financially and I have no problem whatsoever to give you as much money as you need. Not only that, I'm super happy to help you out. Each time you have a problem, please call me up. Let me know. I will help you.

    After that phone call and successfully relying on my uncle and then needing money again and a second time, third time and 10 times, the same situation repeating itself where he continuously comes through for me. I have no need anymore to find a plan B because this is my solution. And when I am in trouble, I know I can rely on my uncle with no problem whatsoever. When we can reach that state of reliance on Hashem, then we are so confident He will come through for us. We are being taught here from so many Torah sources that Hashem will come through for you without a shadow of a doubt. So B’ezrat Hashem, let's continue to clarify exactly what Bitachon is all about and with Hashem's help move forward together in this incredible journey and transform our lives.

  • 632 - Transform Your Bitachon! (Part-69)
    Jul 8 2026

    We’ve been discussing many Torah sources that give us the true description of what does it mean to have bitachon in Hashem. We now moving forward to the next Torah passage, which is a piece from the Maharal (Nesivos Olam, Bitachon, Chapter 1), where the Maharal states, “How great is the attribute of Bitachon, that when one is in the category of relying on Hashem with all their heart, everything will turn out for you in a revealed, good, sweet way.”

    The Maharal is writing here pretty clearly that when we apply bitachon and rely on Hashem for a particular situation, the result will be that the situation will for sure turn out for us in a positive way. And in the words of the Maharal, “that all things in your life will turn out for the good.” Again, we are seeing here very clearly from the Maharal that the attribute of bitachon is so powerful that when we rely on Hashem with all our hearts, not only will Hashem come through for us in a way that He sees best, but rather He will send us our salvation in a way that is good and sweet in our eyes too.

    We're now moving forward to the next Torah source. And this is a passage from the Chofetz Chaim (Zechor Lemiryam, Chapter 20), where he states, “with regards to Hashem Himself, who is the source of all mercy and compassion, when a person places their bitachon and reliance on Hashem with truth and sincerity, Hashem will for sure send the person their salvation, and they will be saved from all evil circumstances and happenings.” Again, we are seeing here from the Chofetz Chaim, what does bitachon mean? What is the power of bitachon? When you rely on Hashem, Hashem will for sure save you from the challenging circumstances that you are going through.

    A person is ill, a person is short of money, a person is looking for their zivug, a person has a relationship problem, a person is struggling with bringing up their children, or whatever else might be applicable in your life. The Chofetz Chaim is teaching us the treasure of bitachon, based on all the earlier Torah sources that we already visited, that when somebody places their true reliance on Hashem, Hashem will for sure save them from their challenging circumstance. Not that the approach is, “there are other considerations, and who knows, maybe for you, it's not best if Hashem saves you in the way that you desire.” No, the Chofetz Chaim is teaching us that when you have bitachon in Hashem, when you rely on Hashem, He will for sure send you salvation.

    And again, let us highlight by the fact that there are so many Torah passages, throughout all Torah literature, that highlight that Hashem calls on us to have bitachon in Hashem, it is clear then, that it is not just a license that we have, that if we want, we can tap into this amazing opportunity, but rather, Hashem is telling us through all the many pesukim, please place your bitachon in me, through all circumstances, and it is the greatest mitzvah that we can be fulfilling. What an incredible opportunity we have, not only to receive the ultimate most tremendous reward in the next world, by doing our best to grow in the ladder of bitachon in this world, but even tapping into the most powerful weapon for ourselves in this world itself, which is that when we choose to rely on Hashem, we will actually be saved from the detrimental situations that could potentially arise for us in this world. B'ezrat Hashem, let's continue together in this incredible journey about bitachon, and transform our lives.

  • 631 - Transform Your Bitachon! (Part-68)
    Jul 7 2026

    Let's continue this incredible journey about Bitachon and we're now moving forward to the next passage, which is a piece from Rabbeinu Bechayei (Devarim, Chapter 11) where Rabbeinu Bechayei writes that somebody who is afraid from another individual actually brings about the trouble and the stumbling block that he's fearing from, and he actually brings the distress onto himself, even though that distress and challenging situation would not have presented itself if not for fearing that item or individual.

    We've touched on this concept numerous times before, where the Torah commentaries teach us that the opposite of Bitachon is actually fear. And the way Hashem made it work in the spiritual realms is that when we fear something, which again, is the opposite of Bitachon, it works like a magnet that, God forbid, we can actually attract that item to come about just because of our fear towards it.

    Now again, as a premise to this topic, we have to remember what the Torah commentaries, such as the Steipler in Birkas Peretz, taught us, where we have to realize that we are human beings and natural anxiety and fear are oftentimes not something that we can control, and we don't have to now cause ourselves more anxiety and more fear because we naturally are feeling anxiety and fear towards something. We have to remember that Hashem is not going to hold us accountable for more than our natural limitations and human capacity. If we are doing our best to be on the Bitachon journey and we are feeling fear towards something, and there's nothing more I can do about it right now today -maybe in the future I can grow more in my Bitachon journey and I won't feel anxiety or fear from this situation. But right now, this is where I am, and I am feeling tremendous feelings of fear towards another individual or another circumstance.

    If that is the case, we can now place our Pitachin in Hashem and say, “Hashem, I don't want to fear another individual nor any other circumstance, but Hashem, I am currently experiencing anxiety and fear and I don't want to, but there's nothing I can do. I am a human being. I'm asking you to help me. Help me that tomorrow I shouldn't feel anxiety and fear from this situation. But right now I am, so I'm asking Hashem, please protect me.” And if we do that, we are putting it in Hashem's hands and there's no question, as the Steipler and others teach, that we are not going to be held accountable in that situation and we are certainly not going to be in this category of bringing about bad situations onto ourselves by fearing them. But what we are learning here is that we do have to do everything we can to be on the Bitachon journey because Bitachon is the foundation and point of all of Torah, mitzvos and everything we are and do.

    And because the opposite of Bitachon in many ways, as the Torah commentaries teach, is fear, we've got to do everything we can to be on our journey, to remove fear from our lives. But now let's continue this passage of Rabbeinu Bechayei where he states, “And somebody who is on the Bitachon journey and doing their best to place their Bitachon and reliance in Hashem, the opposite of fearing somebody else and another circumstance, they are rather choosing to rely on Hashem exclusively, what will the outcome of that be? Continues Rabbeinu Bechayei, He will be saved from that challenging situation, even though that situation was supposed to come about according to all the laws of nature and statistics and even spiritually so, it was supposed to come about, but because I am choosing to rely on Hashem exclusively and do my best to remove my fear from other individuals and other circumstances, Hashem will cause things to turn around in a way that distressing and challenging situations that were supposed to come about in my life will now not come about because of my Bitachon in Hashem.

    And ends off Rabbeinu Bechayei, “And so too Shlomo HaMelech warns us about how important it is to work on our Bitachon, as it states in Mishlei, That the fear of a man places his stumbling block in front of him, whereas somebody who relies on Hashem will be saved. Bitachon is an axiom that Hashem created in the world, that if you rely on Hashem exclusively, in Rabbeinu Bechaye's words here, you will for sure be saved and receive your salvation. B’ezrat Hashem, let's continue to explore these incredible Torah sources about Bitachon and transform our lives.
