#249 What Happened to my Bitachon?

Bitachon can’t be learned from a book. We can learn the theory, get a grip on the fundamentals of our hashkafa and think we know that we trust in Hashem. But until we are really tested, we have no idea whether our bitachon is real or not. Being naturally optimistic or anxious isn’t an indication of where we’re holding in bitachon-that’s nothing more than a reflection of our personality. To acquire genuine bitachon is a growth process, an emotional reality that goes beyond an intellectual understanding. In this candid shmuz, Rabbi Shafier explains ‘what happened to my bitachon’ when we find ourselves in a difficult situation and suddenly discover that we don’t have so much menuchas hanefesh afterall. How can we make what we learn a real part of our emotional reality? Listen to this shmuz and get the tools to see Hashem in your life and bring theory into reality.
