עשרה נסיונות נתנסה אברהם אבינו עליו השלום ועמד בכלם (אבות ה:ג)
The holy Rebbe of Ovritch (Ovruch, Russia), who authored the classic Chasidic work “Bas Ayin,” says that Avraham passed the ten tests because he had bitachon – trust in Hashem that these tests were always meant to be for his good.
When Maran Reb Aharon of Belz zt”l lived in Tel Aviv, he would bake matzas on Erev Pesach in Kfar Chabad. Once, it was late, and the driver was rushing to get to the bakery in Kfar Chabad on time. The Belzer Rav zt”l asked the driver to stop and when the driver complied, he exited the car. He stood on the side of the road for a few moments. People heard the Rav zt”l say to himself: “הושענא נפש מבהלה” – Hashem should save us from panic and confusion. Despite having complete trust in Hashem that they would make it on time, the Rav zt”l still davened that they should not lose their equilibrium and peace of mind.
