He hears you – here’s how you know.

There’s a dark mountain peak looming sky-high before you. Magnificent wildlife, breathtaking flowers, and a perfectly sunny sky surround you, but right now, the dark shadow of the mountain blocks everything else from sight. In the words of Charlene Aminoff:

A woman came to buy a wig from me, and I noticed that something was weighing her down. "I'm frustrated with Hashem," she admitted. "My daughter is getting older, and she hasn’t even been redt a normal shidduch in so long. Why is it so hard for Hashem to send her a husband?"

I handed her my Nishmas card and told her, " Start saying this tefilah every day. It's time to focus on the good things you have and let more bracha flow into your life."

Four months later, she returned, even more despondent than the last time. She had completed 3 rounds of Nishmas, and still, her daughter remained single.

"There's a pasuk right in the beginning of Nishmas”, I told her— “V’Hashem Lo Yanum V'lo Yishan'—Hashem neither slumbers nor sleeps. That’s a promise to us that He hears every one of our tefilos. Your yeshua will come only at the right time. Meanwhile, your tefilos are being redirected elsewhere. Has anything good happened to you recently?"

She paused, then began to list her blessings: "My husband got promoted at work." "My daughter just bought a house." "My brother got the kidney he so badly needed after a short wait."

We often act just like this woman — feeling unheard because we’re fixated on the one thing that's not going our way, losing sight of the countless brachos we have.

Step back from the mountain that’s blocking your vision, and notice the vast, beautiful landscape of blessings around you. Take it all in — and remember, He has been listening all along.
