What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Number one, a person could be tested again and again and again. Sometimes an individual will think, "Well, I could only be tested one time. After that, then already it's too much." Avraham Avinu was tested 10 times. It may be that after a person graduates one test, they may go on to another, and even a third or a fourth. An individual that has his gabrus, a person that has the willpower, the might, the stamina, says, willpower, the might, the stamina, says, "Hashem Yisborach, I am ready. I will go from this ion to this ion. I will pass all the tests, and I will make sure that I'm able to withstand the pressure, the yetzer, whatever may come my way. I want to fight it. I want to be miskaber." The second idea is, of course, that Hashem Yisborach has particular love for those that are omed b'nisayon.
