Daily Chizuk #1366

There are times when a person wants something very much. He prays all the time for Hashem to help him and he makes the necessary hishtadlut to get it done. Yet, day after day goes by with no sight of salvation ahead. The person wonders why he's not being answered. He's willing to do anything to get what he wants, but he doesn't know what else he could possibly do.
Very often, Hashem sends the opportunities we need to get exactly what we want, but we fail to see them. It could come in the form of a test to overcome or a mitzvah opportunity that is presented to us. If we capitalize on those opportunities, the outcome we are hoping for would surely arrive. There could have been dozens of times that we could have gotten what we were asking for, if we would have only utilized the opportunities that Hashem sent us.
The best hishdadlut we can make is always doing the best we can in our service to Hashem.
