Bitachon – No worries:[1] In addition to making a Keli and praying to G-d, one must place his trust in G-d that G-d provides man with all his sustenance, as the verse[2] states “Eiynei Kol Eilecha Yisabeiru Veata Nosein Lahem Es Achlam Beito/All eyes are turned to you and you give them their food on time.” To quote from Hayom Yom[3], “included in the job description of a person who works for a living, is to arouse the complete belief and trust in the One who provides sustenance for all creatures, that he will give the person sustenance in plenteous. One needs to be in a state of true joy and gladness of heart as a result of this trust as if his sustenance is already available in front of him.” The Noam Elimelech[4] states that Hashem created a certain amount of divine blessing which provides one with his sustenance to enter the world daily. Having a lack of trust in G-d, and questioning from where one’s sustenance will come, causes this divine blessing to stop, and hence requires G-d to reinstruct the divine blessing. Accordingly, one should always trust in G-d that G-d will provide him with his sustenance in order so the divine blessing never cease. The purpose of prayer is to burn ones worry of Parnasa.[5]
