Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Tuesday, July 07 09: Now that we have taken upon ourselves that during certain times of the day we will see the good in everything and have FAITH that its all for the good, now we put it into practice. THANK YOU HASHEM! This is not easy to do. It takes lots of practice. You will fall and feel like giving up, don't! Please Hashem give us strength to do this today, and help us get closer to you!
The key is to not associate our commitment to emuna and avodat HaShem with the outcome. When we look to a certain outcome the yetzer will use this to cause discouragement --- which ultimately is a lack of spiritual awareness. As we endeavour to strengthen our good points and to focus on the good in the world around us we must do it for its own sake not for the sake of the "intended" outcome.
The yetzer will come either way. As long as we stick with our commitment we will succeed. The yetzer will get stronger as we get better and we need to learn how not to allow the yetzer to alter our path, but we're not there yet. For now, accept yourself at the place you are at, see the good in everything as best as you can and begin the process of a slow growth
