I believe that we should all mention one thing, whether big or small, in our daily life that makes you feel closer to HaShem…
I thank him in my own few words quite a couple of times a day for various reasons!
Ditto
not only thank Him, daven to Him throughout the day, in your own language, even little things that you need, many times i daven to find a parking spot,(yes even OOT communities, not Brooklyn its hard in some areas)that whatever i’m working on (at work, at home, for klal or prat) should be matzliach and come out good… i don’t know everything. Were suppose to try to live with Hashem and feel and have a close relationship.
The very fact we still exist gives me Chizuk.
With so many wanting (and having wanted) to destroy us, it is only due to Chessed for Hashem that we are here.
Higherandhigher-amen. Thank you!
Sof davar, of course I daven to Him many times throughout the day.
But for some reason, I feel much closer to Hashem when thanking him. Maybe it’s because that’s when I appreciate all good he does to me.
I mamash see miracles every day in the blessings and nachas that I have which keeps building my emunah and bitachon. Each time I look at my eineklach or my children b”h, or even my nieces, nephews great-nieces and nephews b”h, the list is endless. Then of course my extended family from the once upon a time at-risk kids who have b”h passed their nisyonos and those who are still struggling but have one revelation or another. One more clean day, one more safe day, etc.
I get closer to Hashem when I see the kedusha in a smile that lights up someones eyes and gives us a glimpse into their soul. I get closer to Hashem when I see kindness in strangers because they want to versus they have to.
I get closer to Hashem when I hug my mother who is very much so up in years and very ill but yet each opportunity I get to hug her, kiss her and say I love you is a brocha from Hashem and a matana and I realize that and acknowledge that it makes me feel closer to Hashem.
I feel closer to Hashem when an opportunity to do a mitzva presents itself. And I don’t mean make a bracha or give tzadaka at the door. I mean something that is meant special for ME to do, as if Hashem guided me or this opportunity especially for me.
I feel closer to Hashem when I choose to dan l’kaf zchus rather than judge another person because I feel like I worked hard on myself and that Hashem has rewarded me and elevated me to another madreigah.
And I feel so much closer to Hahsem when I put my faith and trust in his hands as I get behind the wheel of my car because I do my very best knowing that I have so much on my plate and I try to concentrate and be the best drive that I know how to be, but I do wonder about all those other crazy drivers out there that cut me off and miss me by just an inch or so, and then I surely know that Hashem is right there with me and has his foot on MY brake!
I think by seeing the small things that Hashem does for you. Like I wanted to go somewhere and a bunch of things had to come together so I could go. Even the timing was perfect, if it was two minutes later, then it wouldn’t have been worth it.
Also, I know that when I’m not feeling that safe, like walking past a dangerous place or past unsavory characters saying Ain Od Milvado makes me feel calmer and that Hashem is watching over me especially.
