Welcome to the daily chizuk (encouragement). After the Jewish people got the Torah on Har Sinai, they started traveling to Eretz Yisrael (the land). It was supposed to take three days, but they ended up complaining and crying, and it took 40 years instead. Rabbi Arush quoted the Rebbe (Hasidic spiritual leader) from Ger, who asked the following question. The Gemara Berachot teaches us that there are three things that we could acquire only through yisurim, through affliction. One of them is the knowledge of the Torah. Another one is olam haba (World to Come), and the third thing is Eretz Yisrael. We see how much yisurim we already had over Israel: all the wars, all the bloodshed, how many widows and orphans, how much anguish. So he asked, how could it be that we would have gotten the land in just three days? Even if you say that those three days were going to be tough, traveling through the desert with little children, it's only three days.
And the Rabbi answered that if Am Yisrael (Jewish people) would have accepted the three days of afflictions with love and emunah (faith), that would have accomplished what would normally have taken years to accomplish. This is the unbelievable Zechut (merit) for someone who recognizes that all the issues in life are directly sent by Hashem for our own benefit.
Over 200 years ago in Yemen, there was a big drought. They didn't have rain for a few years. The Rabbi, Maharitz, made a kinus (gathering) and gathered together the whole kahal (congregation), and he told them it was revealed to him in Shamayim (Heaven). The reason they still didn't have rain is because the people weren't accepting the din (judgment) of Hashem with love. They were all complaining and crying, and telling Hashem, “We don't deserve this. We're tzadikim (righteous people). What's going on?” And he told them, “This is the wrong approach. You have to be happy with everything that has happened, everything that Hashem does to us, and then you'll see the blessing pour down.”
This attitude of accepting what Hashem gives us with love is not a contradiction to tefillah—to praying for things to change. The proper attitude is to say, “Hashem, if you didn't give us rain till now, it must have been for the best reason, because you only do what's good for us.” But that doesn't mean that it's not good for us to have rain one minute from now. Hashem commanded us to ask Him to give us what we want. He loves when we ask. The only thing we're suggesting is to change your attitude out of view what happened already.
L'mashal (for example), if someone needs a shidduch (marriage match), the proper attitude is to say, “Hashem, if I didn't find my zivug (match) yet, you must have a great reason, and I totally accept with love. But please, Hashem, open my eyes and let me find my zivug now.” And in the merit of us accepting b'simcha (with joy) how Hashem deals with us, we are sure to see blessing, a lot of blessing in the future. Have a great day.
