Bitachon 124 - Prayer and Simplicity

you're listening to the 124th edition of the be talking podcast we continue we're still in chapter 25 up to LM plus here we skipped in chapter 25 verse 20. shamanashi batsileni King David says Hashem protect my soul save me let me not be embarrassed because I have trusted in you it's very interesting we say this also in the Dominic we say at the end of Allah which is let us not be embarrassed for we have trusted in you so it's a theme we're asking Hashem constantly Hashem fulfill our prayers answer our prayers be the one upon whom we can rely so that we're not embarrassed interesting let's see the unfortunately the first thing that we see is it's a good idea to rely on Hashem you know why because really if we can't rely on Hashem can we who can we rely on es from Israel Hashem is the one about whom it says chapter 121. verse 4 he does not sleep he doesn't Slumber he's the guardian of Israel so protect my Souls why does he turn into Hashem he turns Hashem because Hashem is the only one who can do it really he's the only one who could protect us properly the next mafara sure protect my soul that I not be drawn after them that I not lean towards the ways of those who are wrong or those who are my enemies take my physical body from their plans from their ideas their thoughts let me not be embarrassed in front of my enemies the worst feeling is when you know you've done what's right and those who are doing what's wrong are succeeding and you fall prey to them having forbid Welk is saying please Hashem let it be seen let it be seen I trusted in you I did what was right I followed your ways let it be clear that because I followed your ways things worked out for me let my enemies not rule over me because I trusted in you is what does it mean says the the race he says that it means I I perhaps you could say means I want Hashem to cover me the word Kisa with a cough means to cover I'm finding myself under his wing by him in his shade I'm in his under his protection foreign this shows that I have no one else to help me besides for him so Hashem is the only one right Hashem is the only one that we can depend on as the major says and might be talking means it's it's a sensation it's a Feeling of being safe of being in a place of safety under hashem's wings and his shadow and her in someone's Shadow it means you're safe right I'm right now standing in the shadows of these trees I'm protected from the heat of the Sun and protected from the elements to a certain extent interesting this shot is that Domino's is saying I don't want to kill them I don't want to kill my enemies I don't want to be killed by them success that if someone comes to kill you you have a right to kill them maybe it's a Mitzvah to kill them protect yourself you're allowed to protect yourself from a murderer who's going to murder you not to kill that person first says look those who are chasing me I don't want so I don't want to kill them I don't want to kill them says I trusted in you that you will do that you will take care of my of my dealings my problems of the of making sure that Justice is served let me not be embarrassed that I trusted in you and I decided to step back from my ability to kill him to protect myself Hashem I want you to protect me this is a very deep level of Courage it's a very deep level of trust in Hashem that it's okay I'm I'm not gonna use my rights I'm not going to use my rights I'm going to instead just trust and Hashem that I'll get what I need that'll have the protection that I need here brings the eyes right here towards the end of chapter 25 of tillem and he says that Domino finishes off his prayer in a similar way that he opened the prayer right we talked about them earlier in this chapter that where he's talking about asking for protection spoke in the beginning I'm trusting in you that my enemy is not rejoicing not win over me so he starts he ends the same way he started says the says the eye of it's an incredible thing an important thing it's a very deep thing he's praying he's saying Hashem protect me right why because I trusted news so there's two aspects of trusting there's the trust itself right when I trust in Hashem that's be talking right I don't necessarily have to Daven I don't necessarily have to pray if I'm in a state of trust the very state of trust that sense of a relationship I'm I am standing in the in the shadow of Hashem as it were unprotected but they even says that we have here he's praying he's saying Hashem protect me it's not just saying I trust the new Hashem he's saying Hashem protect me he's actively praying he says that prayer helps every single sickness every single difficulty every single challenge prayer is the Elixir the all-encompassing the all-encompassing solution because what happens when I dive in and we spoke about this before but it's so important to always reinforce to reiterate when I dive in I remind myself that it's Hashem who gives me everything that I need it's Hashem who protects me yes might be talking it's strange things yes I cannot be talking and relying on Hashem as we saw before Hashem is the only one who really can help me you might have agents that he can send but he's the only one who can help me I reinforce that when I dive in I'm saying Hashem Hashem you are the one who heals see our troubles and fight our fights bring us back your screen it's not in our hands some you do it is and the advantage of me talking is very high it's very great alkane armor Ali voice that's why he says let me not be embarrassed I dive into you I strengthen my beauty I reinforced myself I know that it's you Hashem who helps me and takes care of me voice that's why he said let me not be embarrassing like even though I might not have the merits even though I don't I haven't earned it I don't deserve it but Hashem I trust in you I may not be embarrassed because I trust in you I I dive into you I pray to you he brings you on the bottom I am say see Hashem that prayer is an expression of every talking of our trust in Hashem is Allah a person how do I do it how do I reinforce it we talk about it we listen to Usher about it we talk about it we join a bit talking group we're involved we're trying to think about it but it's also through the Fearless that we say the prayers that we say reinforce strengthen are we talking King David says I will call out to Hashem and say that he is praised um I will be saved from them from my enemies but Sara Hashem in my troubles in my oppressive State when I'm oppressed I will scream to God Kylie he will hear from his place from his Hegel from his sanctuary my voice there's many soaking like this there's many statements like this in in the Torah the show what does it say in the terror itself in Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 7. we love what are the nation has a relationship with Hashem as we do which great nation has a connection to Hashem as we do in all of our calling out to him how do we have that connection what does we talking about what is this what is this idea what is it for it's about a relationship with Hashem how do we enter into that relationship through it will I say Hashem I'm your child Hashem of and we say return us to return Our Father our King forgive us for our sins Our Father our King Hashem is our father Hashem is our King we have a relationship with him and to the extent that we developed that relationship it looks like filo looks like prayer it looks like the talking looks like trusts when you come into battle says chapter 10 when you come into battle what do you do you blow the Schaefer in this cartoon is Hashem of your needs you call out to Hashem as you go into battle and I wrote that on the side here this is also what they do what do they they bring the orange Hashem they bring the Ark of the Covenant with them to remind themselves it's Hashem saving us and also in the battle with our Malik moisture Ramen was standing on the mountain nearly was raising his hands and whenever he raised his hands up Claudia star would win whenever his hands would fall they would they would lose to the hands of Moses have the ability to oh he holds his hands up magic saying what's the shots says no whenever you would raise up his hands they would look to Adam and they would they would pray they would subdue their Arts to Hashem and they would win what's it about it's a better relationship with Hashem our prayers are we talking it's about having a relationship with Hashem last point in this note here if a person inside of himself he trusts in Hashem and he uses his right sometimes we have the the penises sometimes the inner part of the person weakens the adult part of the person we do things because of how we've thought about them but sometimes I need to convince myself I need to act as if I need to fake myself out it's possible to awaken the insides when I dab it I awaken myself to believe that he's the one who can do it when I talk to him when I ask him for help it strengthens might be tough one now this brings to the next pars hook in in this chapter the last possible in this chapter that we're going to read together at this time past success time the ice share yes says something incredible and it's so important such a it's so fundamental to what pitahan means I don't think that we've spoken about this enough says Time videos for me which means Simplicity and straightness I fast I was fashioned because I trusted in you which means that there's different ways to go about life I can go through life in a way which is calculations how can I how can I do this how can I how can I get this to happen how can I make this work how can I get my parnosa my livelihood how can I get God to listen to me what do I need to do to to get on God's good side says a different approach he says simple straight simple straight I often you I put my help in you put my open you simple and straight not complication no complication just simple and straight be talking is a simple thing it's not so easy to accomplish but it's a simple thing Hashem does every Hashem created the world you can take care of me it's straight it's simple well maybe if I do this and that maybe that's how Hashem will send it maybe if I that's that's all complications I mean we're getting at the complications says just keep it simple listen to what these unfortunes say about this is like we saw before the idea of the idea of hasaya is to to feel inside of the shadow of Hashem to feel covered by Hashem protected by a shrimp foreign to show that I don't have anyone else to help me because of this because of the sense that hashem's I mean is outstanding his shadow I'm standing behind his shield he's my shield well again he's a king he's so far away he's Albert he's close but she is a rescuer game he's my shield he stands next to me to protect me all the time that's a that's if I feel that way if I can convince myself of that sure then I can go in Simplicity and straightness I simple in my actions straighten my thoughts Hashem this prayer is now that I feel like I'm I'm in your Shadow I mean I'm behind your your Shield oh let me just be straight and simple I mean do what I know is right without all these calculations I'm trying to protect myself from stuff that's going on in the world I only trusted in you Sharia lassilani to protect me to save me the red doc says let's take a little look at what our enemies look like let's have a little bit of uh let's let's notice the contrast their own father because how they can do this and that and the swimming and they can create a nuclear bomb how they can support Russia so Russia will support them I just want to be simple I just want to go straight to you Hashem this simplicity is straightness protects me from their evil okay so I mistranslated before I said Rooney has to do with fashion it has to do with how you fashion me it's Rooney means to protect we're saying Hashem protect us my Simplicity in my my strain-ness protects us protects me keep a call in all of my troubles I trusted in you but that takes a it takes a letting go like I say let go in the god it takes a letting go of all my calculations of why I'm going to succeed of why I'm going to be safe why I'm going to be healthy the moment says I don't want to have to work so I don't have to have to battle so hard against my enemies that's not what I that's not how I want to be protected from them let my simplicity my straightness my commitment to my relationship with Russian let that be enough to protect me without me having to battle them and finally it brings this this Russia from the Tamara team was called Sarah if you want to know how you merits to have protection from Hashem how you Merit that you'll be talking works it's it's by being simple it's by being simple it's by acting acting simple that protects us reduce us from everything that's what makes us fitting that we should be saved to me alif says chapter 26 verse 11. I'm going in this in a simple way Redeem Me have compassion on me Show Me Your Grace all right tell me yesterday if job was praised for his simplicity foreign he still goes with simplicity it doesn't say his strain is or his righteousness a little bit too much his simplicity interesting being simple not making calculations just saying look this is the rules Shem is good Shema is strong Hashem is great I'll trust him that's the it sounds like it sounds like it's like you're a fool but it's the opposite you have to be a fool not to be simple that's the easiest way in because King David merited this world at the next through his simplicity it's just tremendous skittish for a king who has it all who has every means at his disposal to say I'm just going with simplicity like what excuse is there for us so where we find that he acted very simply because as we saw earlier he when someone's running at you to kill you you're ought to kill them to protect yourself but he didn't do that he just shawl was King Saul was running after David to kill him and Allah he didn't you know he had an opportunity to kill his pursuer to kill show foreign will take care of settling the scores that's exactly what happened to me was talking about color coverage that's how we married it to have the the access the merits the the Kenyan the he acquired through this through his Simplicity this world and the next world so bottom line bottom line let's go for Simplicity let's realize that our prayers strengthen our relationship with Hashem but let's keep it simple let's keep it simple and just trust in Hashem thank you so much for listening see you again next time
