Lean on Our Father in Heaven
Looking at a generation in decline, Rav Pinchas concluded that the one sure support left to us is our Father in Heaven.
In the closing Mishnah of Maseches Sotah, Rebbi Pinchas ben Yair describes the world after the churban. The learned and the noble are put to shame and cover their heads, people of good deeds grow few, and the strong-armed and the smooth-tongued gain the upper hand. No one searches, no one asks, no one cares about the fear of Heaven. Then he asks the question that every Jew in galus has felt, and answers it: "On whom can we lean? Only on our Father in Heaven." Rav Pinchas does not hide how hard things are, yet he does not despair. When every human support seems to give way, the bond between a child and a loving Father remains, and that is where a Jew can rest his full weight.

The next time a worry presses on you, about parnassah, health, a child or the news, pause before reaching for your phone. Say quietly, in any language, that you are leaning on your Father in Heaven, and then take the next practical step you can. Tie the habit to a fixed moment, such as the brachah of Shema Koleinu in Shemoneh Esrei, so that it is already there when you need it most.
