Running stream of Sheffa into your life.

Rabbenu Bachya will now delve into the subject of how one is obligated to trust in H'shem in "Worldly matters concerning this world and the world to come.   Rabbenu Bachya takes great effort to divide and subdivide each category.  I will explain each categorize as he teaches  them please refer to the Sefer if you wold like the categorized list.
The First group is the concern of mans body:life and death.  Maintenance    food
                                                                                                                        clothing
                                                                                                                        shelter
                                                                                                                         health and illness
                                                                                                                        his qualities
Rabbanu Bachya writes that the correct way to trust in H'shem in these areas is to give over full control and destiny to the Creator of the world that has picked the best course in which mans life should take.  One must understand that he can only have what the Creator has determined  is best  for him.  In regards to this world and the next. It must be clear that no one can gain or lose anything with out it being decreed by GD.  As Rabbenu writes " Just as one's life and death, illness and health are not in the power of the creatures neither are his livelihood and maintenance clothing and other bodily concerns under their control"
In summation everything that concerns man concerns GD.  He has every detail under control and waiting to shower you with everything you need.  We often cut off the flow of goodness by losing our trust in the creator and trying to take matters into our own hands by worrying, forcing, being anxious and sometimes even Chas V'Shalom dishonest.  If you just give over your loving trust that H'shem is in control the flow of Sheffa can have a constant running stream of goodness into your life.

M. Shabbat Segulah

  Once, on a Motzoei Shabbos, the chasidim were sitting in the bais medrash of the Ruzhiner Rebbe zy”a for Melave Malka. Suddenly, the Rebbe opened the door of his room next to the bais medrash, stood at the entrance, and said, “The Baal Shem Tov was not a deity, and the zaida, the Magid, was not just an ordinary wagon driver. And once, when the holy Baal Shem Tov prayed, his talis fringe fell out of his gartel and dragged on the floor. The Magid approached, picked it up, and put it back in the gartel, but he was trembled with such tremendous fear that he fainted and his life was in danger. They were compelled to rouse the Baal Shem Tov from his deep dveikus in order to calm him.”  He then added, “I told you that the Baal Shem Tov was not a deity and my zaida, the Magid, was no wagon driver. Still and all, when he touched the Besht’s garment, he fainted from fear. The entire world is Hashem’s garment. How much fear must we feel to touch this world!”  May the memory of the...

The Segulah and the promise of saying Avraham's mother's name

There is a well-known segulah from the Kaf HaChaim citing HaRav Refael Abuchatzera that one who says Avraham Avinu's mother's name אמתלאי בת כרנבו (Amtlai bat Karnevo) 17 times before Oseh Shalom in Shmoneh Esrei is promised they will have chen and will be protected. When Amtlai found out she was pregnant, Nimrod had made a gezeirah that all baby boys were to be killed right after birth, since his advisors had told him a boy would be born who would show the world who the real GD is. Not knowing what to do, she called out: "Whoever the GD of the world is, if this is a boy, save him!" H'shem helped her hide her pregnancy from everyone, including Terach, her husband. When it was time to deliver, she went into a cave and gave birth. It was a boy. She called him Avram. She knew if he was discovered, he would be killed. So again she called out to the wind, "Whoever is in control of the world, please save this child!" and left him in the cave. H'shem again...
