Serving Hashem with Chiyus

In addition, the result of having emunah is that we maintain a constant connection to avodas Hashem and we are inspired to do mitzvos with chiyus. We don’t let ourselves get stuck in the mud of depression and sorrow due to all the problems in our lives. Rather, we strengthen ourselves in every situation to escape the darkness of life by attaching ourselves to serving Hashem with joy and enthusiasm.

This is what Rebbe Nachman hints to: “When a person has emunah, even if he suffers, G-d forbid, he can comfort and strengthen himself.” In other words, through comforting ourselves with emunah, we can find real chiyus, energy and strength in our Torah and mitzvos.
