R’ Natan of Bresolv’s Complete Trust 


Once, on the last market day before Pesach, Rebbe Natan still did not have any money to buy his household needs for the festival. Before he could even say his morning prayers, his wife, Dishel, pressed him for money, causing him great anguish. “Oy! Did she learn a chapter of bitterness with me,” he said. Still, when he began his prayers, he strengthened himself with faith and trust in G-d, and put all his energy into his prayers, as if nothing at all was wrong. 

Reb Nachman of Tulchin, who was there at the time, said, “After Rebbe Natan finished his prayers I saw a tremendous change on his face. He looked as if all of his needs were fulfilled.” Later that day some of Rebbe Natan’s followers from 
nearby Rairid, came to Breslov for the market. They brought Rebbe Natan a sizeable sum of money, sufficient to cover all of his needs for Pesach. Reb Nachman of Tulchin was with Rebbe Natan when they gave him the money. He said he saw no change whatsoever on Rebbe Natan’s face when he received it. This was because of his complete trust in G-d. (Aveneha Barzel p. 76 #64).” ~ “Through Fire and Water” by Rabbi Chaim Kramer
