our own issues whether it's our work
whether it's our children whether it's
anything in between it's we're diff

situation but you want to know what

know what makes a test easier to handle
when you know it's a test if you know
that wait a minute
is testing you because you're about to
get a big promotion and before any
promotion God tests you so if you
realize that this is a test you start
laughing be like this okay I got this no
problem you could take it on with so
much EAS so much without any difficulty
when the difficulty was at like 99% when
you realize this is a test and I could
overcome it all of a sudden that 99 then
one n it drops like a 9% difficulty it
drops so much
so we have to realize that on our
day-to-day we're constantly being tested
you read an article and you get angry
this is a test fromes it's a test of
amuna you're feeling frustrated you're
feeling sad you're feeling confused this
is a test of amuna how do you respond do
you realize that God is in control or do
you think no the Israeli Army is in
control and they're doing something
wrong they shouldn't be doing it the
United States should be doing this the
United Nations is a piece of garbage
it's not worth a paper that they write
their name on which is true by the way
but nonetheless you you get so angry
Doctors Without Borders what good are
they when they support terrorism and
they don't mention any human rights
violation what good is the Red Cross
when they know all the disasters that's
happening in Gaza and they don't mention
anything what good are journalists that
are biased and they only care about
their own agenda and you can get
frustrated you can get angry you could
get sad you can get confused you can get
frustrated you can get any emotion but
once you look look at it from a
different angle you start realizing wait
a minute this is a test this is
from this is from God am I going to get
angry am I what is going to be my
response and this is not something that
you can utilize just for the the the the
the the roller coaster of emotions that
we're going through but you could
utilize this in your day-to-day
activities whether it's with your spouse
with your children with your boss with
your learning with yourself with god
with anything in between when you
realize that when you approach a
difficulty and when you encounter a
difficulty this ises who saying I am
testing you and if you know it's a test
you'll be like okay wait a minute then I
am just not going to get angry like let
me just take it's a test I am not going
to get angry I have the ability to
overcome it I am not going to get
frustrated I have the ability to
overcome it cuz it all boils down to one
factor and that is the the the important
understanding that AES controls
everything controls every single thing
that happens in your life macro and
micro everything from what's Happening
to Israel to the wrong shirt that you
put on that day to The Spill of the
coffee or to the freeing of 300
Palestinian terrorists everything is
fromes so when we look at it anxiousness
anxiety depression sadness all these
things go out the window yeah it's
difficult yeah maybe I don't agree yeah
I probably know better than the entire
Israeli government yeah I probably know
better than everyone but at the end of
the day that's not the correct
response the correct response is like
wait a minute is testing me what am I
supposed to do oh yeah maybe I say to
Helen maybe I improve maybe I learn a
little bit more maybe I'll dress more
modestly maybe I'll treat my spouse a
little bit better maybe I'll treat my
children a little bit better the list
goes on and on and you each know what we
you have to work on we all know what we
have to work on so instead of going and
getting frustrated realizing that it is
a test and we this is the difficult part
we don't think like hey wait a minute
I'm reading an article like how is that
yeah no no that's a test like that
article is written in a certain way

going to respond to that you're going to
be frustrated you're going angry you're
not going to be able to fall asleep
