Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated to the refuah shleimah of Miriam Bat Yetta. May Hashem bless her with a complete recovery b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen.
From Rosh Hashanah to Rosh Hashanah it is determined how many difficulties as well as simchas a person will experience the coming year. With every breath, Hashem injects renewed life force called ruach into our being. We are connected to Hashem with every breath we take, whether we realize it or not. Knowing this should make us realize that we cannot do anything in this world without Him, since without the oxygen we intake we could not live.
Taking this one step further we learn that Hashem essentially sustains us through every experience and never leaves our side. It is in this merit that we are able to endure the many ordeals of life and bounce back in spite of the pain. Negative feelings arise when we forget to bring Hashem into the picture; fail to recall eternity. Daily focus should be centered on the end goal of life. Asking the questions, ‘Why am I here?’ and ‘What is this life all about?’ will realign our thoughts to remember why we exist in this world in the first place.
Events are painted in a negative light because we are unable to picture long term meaning to our lives. In the long run all that we undergo is for our benefit in order to enable us to become stronger vessels and grow closer to Hashem. Every person and circumstance has specifically been placed in our lives to motivate us to become more G-dly.
Focus on this thought next time you feel negativity rise in your thoughts.
