We often wonder how to "solve" the many challenges in our lives, and how to make our circumstances, whether financial, familial, or emotional, more in line with our dreams.
What does Hashem want from us?
Hashem wants our yiras Shamayim, and He wants real change. When we make a real internal change and trust in Hashem, then He takes care of providing for us in every way.
I often speak to people who owe others large sums of money - sums that seem huge to us, but to Hashem they mean nothing. A million shekels and a hundred shekels are exactly the same to Him.
What part do we play in solving our problems and moving forward in life?
Our job in this world is to follow the path of the Saba of Kelm and other tzaddikim who were like him. They lived yiras Shamayim and constantly felt that Hashem was watching them. It's not easy to make such a change, but this is the real way to advance. We should dwell on and try to understand what Hashem wants from us, to grasp that He wants us to both fear Him and trust in Him consistently.
When a person examines how he fell and lost his way, and he makes a cheshbon hanefesh, then he can succeed in making a real change and attaining true joy as well. Every person has a path that was set for him in this world, and it's not so much about what he should or should not do. Much more accurately, life is all about living al pi Hashem, in accordance with Hashem's true will - by fearing Him, being conscious of Him, and placing our trust in Him.
Want to see a yeshuah? There is nothing holding Hashem back from caring for us in the same miraculous way He did in the midbar, when our clothing grew along with us and He provided for our every need. The only thing He asks of us, as He did back in the midbar as well, is that we live in accordance with His will, that we live with Him.
When Hashem is a part of our lives, when we daven to Him and ask Him for help with everything, we see yeshuos. Ask anyone who has married off his children, recovered from illness, or experienced any other yeshuah: They saw Hashem before them. They trusted and believed in Him and transformed themselves according to His will, and they received what they needed.
