You're listening to the 277th edition of the B'tachon podcast. We're continuing in safer B'tachon Hashem. And now we're going to talk about B'tachon in Tzarah. Having trust having faith in Hashem, B'tachon in Hashem in times of difficulties. In our previous episodes, we've talked about what is B'tachon. We've defined it. And we've talked about when it's appropriate to use B'tachon. Right? Which we said according to Rabbeinu Yonah, according to Rabbeinu Bachya, it's appropriate to use it in all situations. Tzrichin l'havin al yedei zeh l'havin emes, we need to add on and say as follows, she mitzvas emunah u'mitzvas B'tachon shayaich es b'ikar b'eis tzarah. The main place, the main time that B'tachon is meant to be employed is when a person is in a state of difficulty. B'adam nivchan. And a person is then tested im b'teiach b'Hashem, whether he trusts in Hashem. Davka b'eis tzarah. And it's specifically in a time of challenge. Why? Right? When a person is in a calm situation, obviously, it's much easier to trust in Hashem. Doesn't require as much strenuous effort. Ach, b'tzarah chamas tzu'chah, kol tzaros, but when it comes to situations where a person finds himself in in trouble, im es hasatan, tzarah gedolah me'od. Let's say a person has a very difficult trial. A very difficult situation. So what's what comes into play? The its hara. The evil inclination of a person He says it's like a the concept of when two like things find each other and they are awakened. Right? If I'm in a state of trouble, I'm in a state of challenge, so my its hara wakes up and says, "Oh, oh, oh, this is my This is where I get to play." In a time of difficulty, the its hara works overtime.
