Question

I started a new job, it seems to be for my benefit and I can also strengthen myself there, but nothing is going right for me. A few days ago, I took the wrong train and was two hours late for work, yesterday I went out with a car and it wouldn't start. I feel like I'm being prevented from working there?

Answer

Hello, when a person faces obstacles in doing something good, it comes from the evil inclination, and the more good and important the thing is, the more the evil inclination tries to test him. Working and earning a livelihood is a mitzvah, especially since you say you can strengthen yourself in this framework. The proof that it is good is that the evil inclination invests efforts to prevent you from it. But be strong and overcome, and with God's help, you will succeed in the workplace.
