Affirm your faith in yourself: |
What does this mean to me? |
| Rebbe Nachman once took his precious student Reb Nosson to task. He said, “You have faith in G-d…but you don’t have faith in yourself!” We all need to be aware of our potential for good and our importance in the greater scheme of things to be able to grow and give of ourselves. Developing a healthy sense of self—having genuine faith in ourselves—can take a while, and we need Divine assistance to help us as we move toward that goal. The qualities in which we can take real pride are gifts from G-d: our holy soul, our potential for good, our ability to change and grow. Those qualities are not diminished by anyone or anything; when we focus on them, we begin to see that our worth is independent of anything external. |
A prayer: |
My G-d, We encourage hearing your feedback and may anonymously publish your remarks. Please send email to: [email protected] Feedback:I often go to this prayer in The Flame of the Heart, it is very meaningful for me. I could not have come up with a better way of expressing my feelings to HaShem than this little prayer does. *“The Empty Chair: Finding Hope and Joy – Timeless Wisdom from a Hasidic Master, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov” by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, Adapted by Moshe Mykoff and The Breslov Research Institute, 1994.
