Again, I can't express enough how excited I am to be sharing this Torah information. Something that is such an incredible discovery for myself. Firstly, when I found Emunah, it was completely life-changing just to realize every single one of us can have this most incredible personal relationship with Hashem, the One Being that truly counts, that can do anything and everything for us.   And Baruch Hashem, we had the privilege to spend much time on our daily inspiration about Emunah, but now I'm so excited to continue our journey in what we've called Transform Your Bitachon, in our Bitachon journey. And as we discussed, it's so important always to come from the real Torah sources that provide us with the real perspective, the only truthful, undistorted perspective. Many people can have different ways of looking at things, but ultimately it boils down to who's better at arguing the point and presenting the point.   Even if one might be completely mistaken, if one is talented in arguing a certain point, either to others or even to oneself, we might be convinced of many untruths. So B'ezrat Hashem, let's continue with the contents of the way we're going to break up Bitachon to provide us with a clear direction of where we're going to be heading in this journey of Bitachon. As mentioned, we're going to be breaking this up into 15 parts.   Part 1 is what is Bitachon? A bit of an introduction. Part 2, what is the source for the mitzvah of Bitachon? Part 3, how important exactly is Bitachon? Part 4 we began to discuss, does Bitachon always work? The two sides of the coin are as follows. A. I know Hashem can do anything, but not necessarily will He do it for me in the way that I desire. He has many considerations. Or B. I know Hashem can do anything and what I need and what I desire, not only can He do it for me, but He will do it for me and I'm going to rely on Him and have Bitachon that He's going to come through for me in the way that I need and in the way that I desire.   Let's move now to part number 5. As I'm sure you've picked up already from the way that I've illustrated the questions, you can understand that there's going to be a type of Bitachon that we're going to be exploring, that we can be so confident in our requests, in our reliance on Hashem, that not only do we know that He has the capability to come through for us, but we have such confident Bitachon in Him that we are sure that He will come through for us in the way that we desire.   And therefore in part 5, we will explore, B'ezrat Hashem, why must Hashem come through for me? Does Hashem not have many considerations? Who says Hashem owes me anything? And therefore if I am asking Hashem and relying on Him for something, who says that He must come through for me? He doesn't owe me anything, why must He come through for me? And by extension, again we could add, who says it's going to be good for me? And therefore that might be the reason that Hashem does not come through for me. Because as we know, there are many considerations beyond our understanding. And if I'm asking for something that might not play out to be good for me in the bigger picture of things, why would Hashem give it to me? And if He would give it to me, is that even a good thing? Should I even desire that? So this B'ezrat Hashem will be our discussion in part number 5, why must Hashem come through for me?   And again, as we discussed in our gratitude course in our Emunah series, one of the things that prevent us from feeding gratitude to Hashem is having the mistaken perspective that Hashem owes us things. For example, if a person becomes sick and his perspective is that Hashem owes him good health, then when one becomes sick, one might be led to complaints and the like. Whereas if one's starting point is, Hashem doesn't owe me anything, Hashem didn't even need to create me in the first place, and the whole reason that He did it, as we learned many times, is because He just wanted to share His goodness with me in this world. And that being the case, He doesn't owe me anything.   So if somebody is then ill, they don't have a reason to complain. Anytime they're healthy, they have a reason just to share their feelings of gratitude with Hashem for the amazing health that He's blessed them with, but never to complain because He doesn't owe me anything. And that being the case, if I have Bitachon in Hashem, that He will make me better when I am sick, why must He make me better? Did we not learn that He doesn't owe me anything? Let's continue to explore, b'ezrat Hashem, the journey we're going to be making and the direction we're going to be taking in our Bitachon journey.

Let's continue our Bitachon journey. Okay, so we're dividing this up into 15 parts, just in terms of explaining the questions to give us a bit of a direction of where we're going to be heading, not only to gain the daily inspiration about Bitachon, but also to give us clarity and direction. Again, this is a journey.   It's not going to take one day, but we're going to get there, B’ezrat Hashem. Before even exploring the Torah sources, as mentioned, I'd like to first go through the questions in an orderly, organized way to give us clarity and direction, B’ezrat Hashem, in our Bitachon journey.   So we mentioned part number one, we're going to be discussing what exactly is Bitachon. Part number two, what is the source for the mitzvah of Bitachon? Part number three, how important exactly is Bitachon? Is it just another regular mitzvah? Is it a super mitzvah, or is it ultimately the point of all the mitzvos and all of Torah? Part four, does Bitachon always work? Can I be confident Hashem will come through for me in the way I desire and the way I see it? Or is it just that I know Hashem can do anything, but not necessarily will He come through for me in the way I desire?   Part five, why must Hashem come through for me. If it's true that I can rely on Hashem to such an extent that He will for sure come through for me in the way that I desire, why does He owe me that, that He must come through for me? Who says there's no other considerations, that maybe He shouldn't come through for me? And again, B’ezrat Hashem will elaborate on these points further as we move forward into the Torah sources of each of these sections. But for now, we're just going through the contents to again, give us clarity and direction and raise some of the questions before we explore the Torah sources.   Part number six, does Bitachon have a prerequisite to be effective? And as we mentioned, this is so important, and one of the reasons that perhaps this is not so widely taught, where one relies on Hashem to such an extent that He will come through for me in the way that I need, in the way that I desire, is because an absolute prerequisite for this to happen is that one's Bitachon has to be 100% sincere, and this is a very high level to achieve. Now, as we'll discuss, it's not even about getting there. It could be that we will get there in certain aspects of our lives, and certain times we may be able to tap into this form of Bitachon and even receive the things that we are relying on Hashem for in the exact way that we desire. But not necessarily is that even the goal. It's just about taking a step forward to the right direction. There are many levels in Judaism, and it's not about getting there, not in one day and not even in 100 years. It's about just taking the steps forward to moving in the right direction. So yes, to get to a level of 100% sincere reliance on Hashem is not an easy endeavor. But at the same time, to aim to get to that level and just to climb higher in our sincere reliance, even just a little bit higher, that is ultimately our goal, just to grow in Bitachon.   What does it mean to be sincerely reliant on Hashem? So let's use an example just to illustrate this. Imagine you have an uncle who is so extremely wealthy. He's a billionaire beyond. But not only that, he's a very good-hearted person, and he wants to help people. But not only that, he is particularly fond of you. And he calls you up one day and he says to you, As you know, I am extremely wealthy, and giving out money is very easy for me. And in fact, I like to give out money. But not only that, he says to you, you're the one person that I particularly want to help in any and every area I can. And he says to you, if at any point you need money, please come over to me.   Now one time it happens, you need money, you go over to him, and he so willingly and gladly helps you out exactly with what you need. And he says to you, please, if you ever need this again, come over immediately. And it happens again that you need money, and you go over to him, and he helps you graciously with everything that you need. And you do this 10 times, and each time he helps you graciously and tells you to please come back any time you need.   It happens one night, you're speaking to a friend, and you're currently in a situation where you need money. Now you know that tomorrow you're going to pick up the phone and you're going to call your uncle. Are you pretty confident that he is going to give you exactly what you need? Or are you feeling doubtful about it? Meaning are you saying to your friend, listen, I'm going to call my uncle, and I think he'll help me, but you know, if he won't, then this is the other avenue that I have. Now although there is some reliance on one's uncle, but that won't be classified as 100% sincere reliance, whereas if one says, after these 10 times that he's helped me, I have no doubt about it that he is going to help me, that can just give us a little bit of an indication of what it would mean to rely on Hashem with 100% sincerity. I have no doubt about it, He'll come through for me. So let's continue to discuss and explore these most fascinating topics about bitachon.

I can't stop expressing the tremendous excitement I have for sharing this tremendous information about Bitachon. I'm just so excited about the topic because again, it is just the keys to life. We already know from Emunah, a life without Emunah and a life of Emunah are literally completely different worlds. And again, a life with true Bitachon and a life without Bitachon are completely different worlds. And while we can maybe call Emunah level one, we're now moving to B’ezrat Hashem, Emunah level two, which is really the practical application even more so of turning Emunah into Bitachon.   So B’ezrat Hashem, let's continue the outline we've been giving to give a bit of an overview and direction of where we're going to be heading and many of the questions that will arise and that B’ezrat Hashem is going to deal with in an organized and structured way in each section dealing with the Torah sources that deal with those questions and thereby B’ezrat Hashem coming out with clarity, not only in terms of daily inspiration, but in terms of gaining clarity and direction about these questions.   Of the 15 sections we're going to be discussing, B’ezrat Hashem, we've outlined so far. Question one, what exactly is Bitachon? Part two, what is the source for the mitzvah of Bitachon? Part three, how important is Bitachon? Part four, does Bitachon always work? Is it that Hashem can come through for me, but not necessarily will He come through for me in the way I desire, or can I rely on Hashem to such an extent that I am confident He will come through for me in the way that I desire? Part five, if the latter is true, that I can rely on Hashem for whatever I need and whatever I might desire, why must Hashem come through for me? Who says that's good for me? Who says Hashem owes me that? Who says that's going to happen? Why must Hashem come through for me? And part six, which we left off in the previous session, does Bitachon have a prerequisite to be effective?   So I'd like to elaborate on this a little bit further because this is one of the most fundamental components of Bitachon. As we're going to explore, one of the highest types of Bitachon is to be able to rely on Hashem to such an extent that I am sure He's going to come through for me in the way that I desire. Now as we're going to learn inside and as we get to those sections, we're not just going to talk theoretically about this concept, but rather we'll learn the actual Torah sources inside. But just for now, to give a bit of a direction, we're going to see that according to many, many, many, many Torah sources, not only can one rely on Hashem to an absolute extent that Hashem will come through for me in the way that I need and in the way that I desire, but it is commendable to do such a thing. Not just commendable, but it is actually what true Bitachon is all about, to rely on Hashem to come through for me for my needs in the way that I need, in the way that I see it, in the way that I desire.   But what is most vital to remember and internalize is that a prerequisite and precondition for this type of Bitachon to be effective is to be 100% sincere in one's reliance on Hashem. Now as we've repeatedly mentioned, many of these questions intertwine and one might say, how do I get to such a stage? We'll get there, B'ezrat Hashem. But for now we're just honing in on this point, that this type of Bitachon, where one is so confident that Hashem will come through for them in the way that they need, in the way that they desire, has a prerequisite.   Not a prerequisite in terms of one's reward. Any little step that one makes in terms of their efforts to grow in emunah, to grow in bitochen, is immensely rewarded for and has tremendous benefits for eternity and also in this world. But in terms of this form of bitochen, of relying on Hashem, for Hashem to come through for us in the way that we would like, we're going to see that a most important prerequisite to this happening is that one's bitochen needs to be 100% sincere.   Let's explore this further as we continue in the next session with B'ezrat Hashem.

I'm so excited to continue our Bitachon journey. So let's revise. We divided the sections into 15 parts. So far we discussed, in terms of the headlines of the sections we're going to be discussing, Bezrat Hashem. Part one, what is Bitachon exactly? Part two, what is the source for the mitzvah of Bitachon? Part three, how important exactly is Bitachon? Part four, does Bitachon always work? Is the correct perspective that Hashem can do anything but not necessarily will He do it in the way that I need and desire? Or is the correct perspective that I can have reliance on Hashem to come through for me in the way that I need and the way I desire? Part five, if the latter is the case, that I can rely on Hashem to the extent that I need and I desire, why must Hashem come through for me? Hashem has many reasons and considerations why it might not be good for me if He comes through for me in the way that I desire. And therefore, why must He come through for me?   Let's move on now to discuss part number six. Does Bitachon have a prerequisite to be effective? Now this is so important to elaborate a little bit on what this means. As I'm sure you self-understood from the way I've presented the questions, we're going to see that there is a type of Bitachon that one can be so confident in Hashem that one will for sure receive exactly what they desire. This is honestly one of the greatest and most exciting keys to our life. And after I had the opportunity to learn this topic, I wondered to myself and also had the privilege to discuss it with some great Torah authorities, what is the reason that this type of Bitachon, which is such a powerful weapon that we have available, why have I never heard of this concept before in all the many Torah lectures that I've explored over the years? Why have I not come across this topic? Again, if it was just like a side topic for someone who's very learned, who's exploring intricate topics beyond the scope of what usually people explore, then I'd understand. But if, as we're going to learn, it is the most basic foundation to all of Torah and to all of mitzvos, and we're going to see how not only is this a possible type of Bitachon that we are allowed to tap into, but it's actually one of the higher levels of Bitachon that we should aspire to arrive at, B’ezrat Hashem.   But one of the reasons one doesn't usually come across this topic, and rightly so, is because if this prerequisite and precondition is not met, then of course one's absolute reliance on Hashem is not going to work. So let's clarify what we're trying to say. If somebody is looking for a marriage partner and has Bitachon to Hashem, and again we need to define exactly what does it mean to have Bitachon in Hashem, but let's assume somebody reaches out to Hashem and reaches a space of full reliance on Hashem that they're going to find their marriage partner in the near future. As we're going to learn, there has to be such a sincere reliance on Hashem that one has absolutely no doubt that Hashem will come through for them. Now again, many questions are going to arise as we learn these topics because so many of them are intertwined.   One might ask, if I am so reliant on Hashem, why should I do any Hishtadlus? Why should I make any of my own efforts to make anything happen? Because if I know Hashem is going to take care of it, then why should I make any of my own efforts? And if I am making any of my own efforts, does that mean that I don't have true, sincere reliance? Again, B’ezrat Hashem, we're going to get to this section of Hishtadlus as we proceed to discuss these topics. And another question that will arise is, okay that's very nice. If one has such sincere reliance on Hashem that they're 100% sure Hashem will come through for them, then Hashem will come through for them in exactly the way they desire. But as we're going to see, that's quite a high level. So does that mean that bitachon is only for the elite? Because I don't even know if I can ever get to such a level. And again, as we're going to discuss in the coming sections, what is the true reward for bitachon? Is it just receiving what I'd like? Or even if I'm not able to have the full sincerity in bitachon, do I reap tremendous benefits in both the spiritual worlds as well as this physical world? B’ezrat Hashem, let's continue to explore these topics and transform our bitachon.

We continue our Bitachon journey and as discussed, so many of these concepts are intertwined and it's so beneficial therefore to have a bit of a direction of where we're going to be heading to explore the topic of Bitachon, not just to get the daily inspiration of the Emunah and Bitachon, but more now to get a clear and focused direction of exactly how Bitachon works and thereby be able to answer the many questions which arise and have clarity to feel confident in the Bitachon that we're going to take.   It's also worth pointing out that even though we haven't yet quoted even one Torah source, but just going through the questions is already a building block for Bitachon because it already opens up a bit of a direction of where we're heading, of what there is to ask, what there is to discuss, and it just expands our mind a little bit before we even explore what the Torah sources are going to teach us. So let's revise.   Of the 15 parts we're going to be exploring, b'ezrat Hashem, we've so far discussed part number one, what is Bitachon, a bit of an introduction. Part number two, what is the source for the mitzvah of Bitachon? Part number three, how important exactly is Bitachon? Part number four, does Bitachon always work in the way that I need and in the way that I desire? And part five, if Bitachon does work in the way that I need and I desire, why must Hashem come through for me?   And as we discussed in the previous session, there could be many reasons why Hashem might not want to come through for us, not because He doesn't want to share His goodness with us. Remember, we've discussed many times the only reason Hashem created the world is to share His goodness with us. So He does want to share His goodness with us, but as we know, there are often many considerations, some of them within our understanding and some way beyond our understanding that might be a reason for Hashem not wanting to come through for us in the way that we desire.   So let's say, for example, a person is an overly confident person because of the tremendous wealth that Hashem has blessed them with, and let's say Hashem has decided that for the benefit of this person, for their eternity in the next world, which is much more important than their life in this world, He wants to give them an opportunity to humble themselves and therefore He takes away this person's money. Now by this person losing their wealth, Hashem understands they're going to be humbled and they're going to have an opportunity to come back to Hashem and build a relationship which is much more important than all the money in the world. So let's say this person would apply Bitachon and they ask Hashem and they rely on Hashem, please Hashem, give me all the wealth back. Let's say we're going to learn that Bitachon has this magical power, that whatever you have true Bitachon for will come about, but who says that's going to be good for me? Perhaps having Bitachon will be a bad thing if I'm going to make it happen because as we can see in this situation, this guy should not get his wealth back because if he does, he's not going to have the humility that he should have and he's going to continue to be an overly confident person. So how is all that going to work out?   Again, I'm elaborating on each of these points because as one can see, there's so much to talk about in each of these points and yes, as we go more extensively into each of these sections and begin to explore the Torah sources, we will see the way the true perspective of Hashem, the Torah sources teach us how all these questions come together and b’ezrat Hashem in that way build for ourselves a real path to Bitachon.   I want to just emphasize again, I'm feeling so tremendously passionate to be able to share this Torah information. I'm so excited because again, without knowing this information of what true Bitachon really is, of course one is not able to take the next necessary steps to be able to truly apply this information sincerely in our lives and live by the values of Bitachon. We have spent a lot of time learning about Emunah and getting the daily inspiration about Emunah which is tremendously important because it's just about bringing Hashem into our lives and making Hashem real into our lives and realizing we can and should talk to Hashem about anything and everything and all the many other things that Emunah leads to. But at the same time, Bitachon is a whole another world which we're just beginning to explore and I'm so excited to be sharing this with you because to me it's literally like a gift of $10 billion and the truth is much more than that because all the money in the world cannot buy the gift of what true Bitachon is, the ability to truly rely on Hashem. So let's continue b’ezrat Hashem with our journey in Bitachon.

Before we begin our Bitachon journey, I would like to just give an overly simplified summary about what Emunah is. Again, if anyone would like to refer to our previous audio inspiration, the place to look is transformyouremunah.com and there you can find the archives of the last two years of daily inspiration, as well as all the courses and more. But for our purposes right now, B'ezrat Hashem, in just one slot, to give an overview of what exactly is Emunah, so that B'ezrat Hashem we can continue from there in our Transform Your Bitachon journey.   As we will learn, it is very clear that in order to have Bitachon, one has to have Emunah. It is impossible to have Bitachon without having Emunah, but as the Torah commentaries teach, it is very possible to have Emunah whilst not necessarily having Bitachon. So therefore, in order to be able to embark on our Bitachon journey, we have to first clarify and remind ourselves what exactly is Emunah.   So while there is a lot of information, simply speaking, Emunah means digesting the words Ein Od Milvado, sincerely. The words from the verse in the Torah – Ein Ad Milvado – really mean that there is nothing else in the world except for Hashem. That means that anything that transpires throughout our lives, although much of the time it might seem like other people in our lives and other circumstances are the engines driving those forces of the things happening to us in our lives, however, truly digesting Ein Od Milvado means that there is nothing else in the world except for Hashem. That means that every single detail, down to the last degree, is orchestrated exclusively by Hashem in every single one of our lives.   In the 13 principles of faith, based on the Rambam, that are printed at the back of many siddurim, we read the words, “I believe with my full heart and with full sincerity, that Hashem creates and manages the details of every single one of His creations, and He alone arranged everything that happened in the past, currently arranges everything that happens in the present, and is the only one exclusively who takes care of everything in the future.” Now why this is such an important foundation to Bitachon is because, as we will see, there are so many different details about how we are able to apply Bitachon to our lives. But a basic and most important foundation to any and all of those applications is to work on internalizing more and more each day that Hashem exclusively runs every single detail in every single one of our lives.   And that being the case, as we've discussed so many times in our daily inspiration, that Hashem exclusively orchestrates every single detail to every single one of our lives, and without a doubt can hear every single one of our words that we say to Him, it is one of the most basic extensions of Emunah, to talk to Hashem. The more one builds the belief in Hashem, the more one automatically won't have so many questions about how much should I talk to Hashem, is it okay if I just talk during davening and the like, but rather it will be an obvious go-to that I want to talk to Hashem and I need to talk to Hashem, because it is obvious that that is the greatest effort that we can make in terms of solving our problems, trying to find the right direction in our lives, and anything and everything else, because Hashem runs every single detail in every single one of our lives. So let us make an effort to remember this most important information. The ABC of all of Judaism, and certainly a prerequisite before exploring Bitachon, is to truly digest Emunah.   Hashem exclusively runs every single detail in every single one of our lives, nobody can contradict Hashem's will. And therefore the most obvious and logical thing to do is to always reach out to Hashem about anything and everything to the best of our degree. B'ezrat Hashem, in the next session let us begin our journey in Bitachon.

Hey everyone, I'm so excited to share with you, we're about to embark on our new journey, our new project, Transform Your Bitachon. We've been working on our daily inspiration about Emunah for about two years, and I hope, B’ezrat Hashem, that we've all gained even just a little bit of growth in our Emunah journey. As we've discussed many times, Emunah is not something we ever graduate from truly because, as so many commentaries teach us, Emunah is ultimately our life's work, and there are countless levels, and it's not just about knowing the information about Emunah, but it's about truly digesting that information and incorporating it into our lives as best as we can.   Just like Emunah is a whole world unto itself, Bitachon is a whole incredible world, and while it might seem to many of us that since we have been learning about Emunah, Bitachon is almost an extension of that, on the one hand, that is certainly true; on the other hand, Bitachon is a huge world unto itself, and I'm so excited, B’ezrat Hashem, to share this with you all. Just before we do begin our journey on Bitachon, I would just like to mention a couple of things. For anyone who's interested in referring back to the daily inspiration that we've been sharing over the last two years, the place to look is transformyouremunah.com, and one can find there the archives to all the shiurim that have been posted via the podcast platforms that are listed there. Our series of courses related to Emunah that we've been posting on our daily inspiration can also be found on our website transformyouremunah.com.   I would also like to mention that we had the privilege to release a sefer called Transform Your Emunah in just 60 seconds a day, a sefer which is really a collection of more than 300 Torah sources about inspiration about Emunah. If you'd like to get a copy of the sefer for yourself and you haven't yet done so, you can get it on all the classical platforms such as Amazon, Feldheim, or your local bookstore, and all these links can also be found on our website transformyouremunah.com.   May Hashem help every single one of us to grow in our Emunah and our Bitachon journeys, not only transforming our future for eternity, which is ultimately the most important thing, but at the same time, may we all merit to truly transform our lives, even in this world, the world that we live in.   I'd like to use this opportunity to thank every single one of you for the opportunity to be able to share the Torah wisdom that Hashem has given us about Emunah and Bittachon, and I hope and pray that just like I have grown tremendously throughout this journey, that Hashem should bless every single one of you to grow tremendously in your Emunah and Bittachon endeavors.   And as we've discussed extensively in our Emunah daily inspiration over the past two years, that one of the most basic expressions of Emunah is to talk to Hashem in our own personal words and develop a personal relationship with Hashem, I'd like to use this opportunity to make a small prayer to Hashem in my own words, and I encourage every single one of you, just before we commence on this most exciting and incredible project, to make a small tefillah of your own to Hashem for success in this endeavor, and by extension, in all our endeavors of Emunah and Bitachon and everything else that is truly important in our lives. “Hashem, my dear Father, thank You so much for the past two years of the most incredible Torah information and inspiration that we've gained from, and we're about to embark on this most exciting journey, Transform Your Bittachon, which as You know is the most incredible and exciting world unto itself. I beg You, Hashem, please guide every single one of us in our individual capacity to be able to take the information, digest it, and incorporate it into our lives as might be applicable to each and every one of us, and thereby, b'ezrat Hashem, not only transform our lives in this world to the most meaningful lives of tremendous value, but most importantly, to fulfill our life's purpose, which is ultimately to earn eternity for ourselves, and as we've learned so many times, the ultimate and most important way to do so is by making our maximum efforts to excel in Emunah and Bittachon. Please Hashem, help every single one of us on this incredible journey to be able to truly transform our Emunah and our Bitachon.”

So before we begin exploring the giant world of Bitachon, which I'm so passionate and excited to be sharing, there is just so much incredible information – some of it we might be familiar with in some ways, but some of it we may have never heard before. And these are the real keys to the success of our lives in this world, and of course also for eternity.   I'm holding in my hand a collection of 75 Torah sources, which I've been working on for a long time. Don't think by any means that Bitachon is limited to 75 Torah sources. If there's anything we learnt in our Emunah journey, we know that the whole point of all Torah and all mitzvos is ultimately for the sake of Emunah and Bitachon, as so many Torah commentaries taught us. And as we open our eyes, we'll just see that it's literally left, right and center. everywhere we look is just full of Emunah and Bitachon. But this particular collection of Torah sources that I'm holding in my hand is so dear and precious to me, because it's ultimately been a journey of trying to clarify for myself, which I'm so excited and passionate to now be sharing with you, a more organized journey through what exactly Bitachon is.   When I've encountered some people and I've shown them this collection of Torah sources, I've said, honestly, this looks like a little pamphlet with a little bit of writing on it that might be worth just a couple of dollars. But honestly, to me, this is worth at least 10 billion dollars. As we learn this information, we will see that the more we learn about and truly digest what true Bitachon is, the more we will realize that we have the true keys to life way greater than winning the lottery or any other security we might feel for ourselves.   Before we move forward to learning about Bitachon, which we can maybe call Emunah level 2, let's just give a summary about what we've learned so many times about what Emunah, simply speaking, is. So, B’ezrat Hashem, we're going to use the next session to give an overview about what we've learned so many times about what exactly Emunah is and how to practically apply that. And then, Bezrat Hashem, after that, we're going to move into Bitachon and begin our journey in the world of Bitachon.   Success is a word that is relatively subjective to what an individual considers to be successful. But we know that in Hashem's undistorted eyes, there is a truthful perspective to what true success is. And therefore, as we discussed so many times, one of the most powerful things that we can do is a basic extension of Emunah, just to simply speaking, ask Hashem that we should be successful in our endeavors. And specifically now, as we're about to embark on this amazing journey, I want to use this opportunity once again to ask Hashem in my own words, and I encourage every single one of you to ask Hashem in your own words, as we embark on this journey, this most incredible and exciting journey, because as you will see, as we proceed on this journey, you will receive the keys to many gates that you either thought never existed or might have thought that those gates will always be locked to you.   “Hashem, we're about to begin our Transform Your Bitachon journey. I'm so excited that you've shared this Torah information with me, and I'm so excited to be sharing it with others. Please Hashem, help every single one of us, me from my part, to give over the information in a truthful and clear way. And at the same time, anyone who might be listening, to b’ezrat Hashem, receive the information in the right way, but not only to learn the information as a theoretical subject, but to truly b’ezrat Hashem, be able to sincerely apply this information in our lives. Thank you so much Hashem for the incredible gift of Emunah, and the incredible gift of Bitachon.”
