א. כְּשֶׁעוֹשֶׂה אָדָם אֵיזֶהוּ דָּבָר בֶּאֱמוּנָה וְנִכְשָׁל בְּאֵיזֶה מִכְשׁוֹל, יִבְטַח שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ־בָּרוּךְ־הוּא יַצִּילוֹ, וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ־בָּרוּךְ־הוּא הִזְמִין לוֹ אֶת הַמִּכְשׁוֹל כְּדֵי שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה דֶּרֶךְ כְּבוּשָׁה לְבָנָיו בְּזאת הַמִּכְשׁוֹל, שֶׁיִּנָּצְלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ.

**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
When in the course of doing something with faith a person encounters adversity, he should trust that the Holy One will save him. God arranged this obstacle for him so that he should pave the way for his sons to be saved from this same adversity.

ב. מִי שֶׁנִּשְׁמָר מֵהִרְהוּרֵי עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה, זוֹכֶה בְּכָל פַּעַם לְבִטָּחוֹן עַד שֶׁאֵינוֹ דּוֹאֵג מַה יּאכַל לְמָחָר, וְהוּא בְּמַדְרֵגַת "בָּרוּךְ ה' יוֹם יוֹם", וְעַל־יְדֵי זֶה [הַקָּדוֹשׁ־בָּרוּךְ־הוּא] לא הִבִּיט אָוֶן וְלא רָאָה עָמָל בּוֹ, וְכָל הַנּוֹגֵעַ בּוֹ כְּאִלּוּ נוֹגֵעַ בְּבַת־עֵינוֹ.

**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
A person who guards against idolatrous thoughts will always trust in God, never worrying about tomorrow. He is on the level of “Blessed is God who day after day bears our burden” (Psalms 68:20), and because of this, “{the Holy One} observed no iniquity and saw no misery in him” (Numbers 23:21). Whoever lays a hand on him, it is as if he were “harming the apple of God’s eye” (Zekhariah 2:12).
