Two Ways of Bitachon

Bitachon Weekly | June 25, 2025

Those who are involved in Middas HaBitachon realize that there are two areas of Bitachon. One area of Bitachon is to get what you want, and the other is to be satisfied with what you have. A person needs to have a Rebbe to guide him on which route to take. I know two Yungerleit who have had tragic lives, because as much as I pleaded with them that they are entitled to daven and get exactly what they wanted, they insisted that maybe they aren't worthy. On the other hand, I know many people who keep pushing with Middas HaBitachon to get what they want, and they are very frustrated.

They don't realize that the bad Midda of “having to get whatever you want” is dominating them, and if they would have Menucha, humility, and more acceptance, then they'd accomplish more.
