Life presents us with many challenges; but by passing our tests, we prepare ourselves for receiving Hashem’s blessings. The key to recognizing a test is to remember that everything comes from Hashem and there is none other than Hashem! Everything that happens to us is His Divine Will!
(Please recite Psalms 20, 30, 88, 121, and 130.)
