True Story
Chaim Berel wanted a certain job desperately, but he needed to take certain exams, and go through certain red tape, which he wasn't able to fulfill as required. Although he had a good reputation, he was warned again and again that without going through the rules there was no way he would be Matzliach.
He went to three different people who were in charge, pleading that he should get the job anyway. The main boss had sent him to Getzel, and Getzel sent him to Shmerel. Shmerel sent him back to Getzel. He realized that he was going nowhere, and he was desperate.
He decided to work on Bitachon. He had a strong feeling that the people in charge were quite annoyed with him, and were accusing him of not respecting their rules. So he wrote a long script about how the main boss likes him so much, and he imagined him smiling at him and accepting him. He wrote down his Maalos, and he pleaded with Hashem to give him a chance. Then he called the main boss, and the answer was an immediate "yes", as if there had never been a problem.
