to Thank You HaKadosh Baruch Hu - Share you Miracle!
This is being shared as a z'Chus (merit) for the Refuah Sheleimah (full healing) of my beloved parents - may they live in Happiness and Health to 120 Be'ezraas H.sh.m (may it be G-d's Will)!
Before Yom Kippur, I had accidentally left the ringer for my phone's alarm clock on high without any auto shut off, and so when it started ringing at the usual time Yom Kippur morning, I had no way to shut it off.
Normally, this would not matter, but this time it would have disturbed someone else so I had to figure out what to do.
In addition to this, it was in a place where I could not just put a towel on top of it to muffle it or something like that.
Baruch H.sh.m (thank G-d) I live in a city where there are security cars driven by non-Jews on Shabbosim (Jewish Sabbaths) and Yomim Tovim (Jewish holidays), that drive all over the city and they also help out if something like this happens.
Normally, these cars would only drive by every 2 to 3 hours or so, and I had no idea when the last one went by. So I said to myself "Okay, I simply need to do my Hishtadlus (do what I can do) H.sh.m will do the rest" and I took my Machsor (holiday prayer book) outside with me and went outside to stand near the street and wait for one of the cars to drive by.
No more than a few minutes passed - I don't know exactly how many, but it could not have been more than five - and one of these cars drove up!
Baruch H.sh.m the alarm was turned off and I even was able to do my Davening (praying)!
Thank You H.sh.m for showing me - yet again - that all I have to do is my Hishtadlus, and You do the rest!

The other morning I got up and noticed that a number of things in random places that were plugged into various outlets in my home had turned off in addition to a couple appliances.
So I took a look and tried to see what I could do to take care of this, but nothing helped and I had to leave for an appointment very soon.
I decided that I had done what I could and I would call the repair person when I got back from the appointment, and I put it out of my mind and left.
When I got back from the appointment, I thought "Maybe I should try turning on and off the master fuse in the fuse box before calling the repair person", and I went over to the fuse box and just as I started to flip the master fuse - I barely moved it maybe one millimeter if that and nothing else switched off so I didn't activate the switch at all - all yes, every single item that had lost power - all turned back on again!
Thank You H.sh.m for showing me again and again that all I need to do is my Hishtadlus and You do the rest!

For the past 8 years or so, I had been having a certain issue with a certain person that they were unable to do anything about due to certain reasons (apologies for the vagueness), and it bothered me a bit when the issue arose almost every day.
Finally, Motzei Shabbos (after the Sabbath end Saturday night) I decided to talk to another person about this instead of keeping it to myself and continuing to let the pressure build.
When I finished speaking to this other person, I both literally and figuratively felt that a weight had been lifted from my shoulders - happier, less tension in my shoulders, more energy, etc. - even though this person did not really suggest anything. In addition, several things that I had been trying to get done literally fell into place shortly after I finished speaking!
It was a clear indication to me that H.sh.m was telling me "See? All you have to do is your Hishtadlus, not worry, and let Me take care of the rest."
One thing to be aware of here is that this is not a carte blanch rule for anyone to speak about anything to anyone else at any time. This was following Halachic (Torah law) guidelines that I was allowed to speak about this with the person I did because it was for a constructive purpose (helping me relieve stress), said to a person who I knew would not spread the information, and was done in a way that only the person I spoke to heard what was being said - this along with the other Halachic guidelines of Shmiras HaLoshon (guarding one's speech).
