Right or Wrong Bitachon? My Opinion

Last week we presented the sleepless plight of Sara. (If you haven't read the story yet, you can read the story now).

I asked for your opinion: was Shmuel right, or was he wrong?

Since no one was brave enough to venture an answer, I have only my own answer to present to you this week!

My Opinion: Was Shmuel right or was he wrong?

Right Bitachon, Wrong Bitachon: What's Your Opinion?

Sara and Shmuel are married and have three lovely children: Malky, Yosef, and Avi. They live in a nice home and have everything they need.

Except for one thing: sleep!

A few weeks ago, they were all sleeping fine. A relative came to visit for vacation. Since then, 5 year old Yosef has been waking up at the crack of dawn.

Not content to play by himself in the dark, Yosef has been waking his siblings up very early too! Tired and cranky, the early risers end up fighting, and wake their sleeping mother as well.

Sara feels like a zombie all day. She is worn out and irritable. She doesn't know what to make of the situation.

Sara complains to Shmuel. She tells him that she feels exhausted, and cannot go on like this.

Shmuel responds: "You just have to have Bitachon. I guess Hashem doesn't intend for you to have much sleep right now."

Right or wrong?

Please offer your opinions in the comments section! I hope to include some of the best answers (and my own answer) in next week's post.
