When a person falls
from his level he should know that this is sent from Heaven.
The purpose of the
apparent rejection is to draw him closer. The reason for the fall is to spur the
person to make even greater efforts to draw closer to God.
The thing to do is
to make an entirely new start. Start serving God as if you had never started in
your whole life. This is one of the most basic principles of serving God. We
must literally begin all over again every day.

Latley everything feels so grey! So Blah! I feel like I am slowly dying inside! That I am losing hope! Like my dreams will never come through. I will never be a Jew and never live in Israel! Maybe G-d doesn't want me I dunno. Suprisingly as depressing as this sounds I feel ok about it. Really I do. I am not depressed, Everything just feels so blah! blah! So grey! lacking color and excitment! I am very much trying to hang on, but I feel my grip slipping! G-d pleae give me strength to hang on! I don't know that I would call it depression, just a lack, a hole somthing empty... The fire in me is or feels like it is buring out. I don't want this! I don't want it at all! I grasping for anything to hang on too! I am reading all the books possible listinening to all the music (which I have already listned to a million times in depserate need of more!) I am trying, to hang on! I even made designated study times and matierial to be more disicplined! I truly am ok, I just feel like part of me is missing, is dead, or dying, G-d please bring it back to life... Until then I am waiting..., and hoping...G-d Restore my soul!
Thanks my friends for listnening

Hold on tight to the Tzadik and never give up! Rabeinu loves us no matter where we are and he wants to help us get ourselves together. The main thing is to cry out to God every day and to never lose hope for even a moment. You have to believe that God can make your dreams come true, but you have to cry out to him a lot, and also do as much as you can to make your dreams into a reality. No matter what, and no matter how much you make fall (or rise), hold on tight to Rebbe Nachman, hold on tight to Saba, hold on tight to Na Nach, and everything will be ok.
ReplyDeleteYou are a amazing friend thanks Nanach! Nnnnm!
DeleteI still believe you should seek out a friendship with a local Jew or family who is shomer mitzvot.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that there is none that I know of except the chabad Rabbi
ReplyDeleteThat's good. There could have been not even the Chabad Rabbi.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Chabad rabbi can introduce you to a person or family.
