We then make a list of as many people as we can recall who have been there for us and next to each name we write "Thank You Hashem" and we then pray for them in our next davening. This form of recognizing the good that Hashem does for us will bring us closer to Hashem with Emunah, Bitachon, and B'Simcha. Thank You Hashem

Bitul Exercise

26 Teves 5770: After trying (below) for one day, now try it for two days in a row and write down a list of everyone who ever harmed you and then write next to it "I Forgive you completely" and realize it was from Hashem and only for the good. The feeling will set you free! It's all from Hashem, and it's all good. THANK YOU HASHEM

Bitul

20 Teves 5770: Bitul (Letting Go) with Emunah (faith) means that we let go of our fears and we let go and let Hashem. This allows us to stay away from Kochi Veutzim Yodi (everything is of MY doing) Letting go plus Faith equals to the process of knowing that everything is from Hashem the good drama and what we call the bad. Try it for ONE day. Let go and let Hashem, you will be greatly surprised by the outcome. THANK YOU HASHEM
