Amazing Segulah to get tefillos answered

This segula has helped countless people, I personally know of many unbelievable stories that attest to its power.

The segula is simple: Accept any improvement in the area of Tzniut, either as a permeant commitment or for 40 days.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Make a commitment to improve some aspect of Tzniut that has not been fully perfected.
2. After making this commitment, recite your request or bakkasha immediately.
3. You must make a commitment that even if chas veshalom your request isn’t immediately answered you will not regret the good undertaking.
4. Conclude by saying: "וה' הטוב בעיניך עשה" – "And may Hashem do what is good in His eyes."

I also wish people would say what their bakasha was. Sometimes when people want to "publicize" their nes or bakasha they do so anonymously, to other anonymous people and they also don't say what happened. Is that really publicizing? I'm not to sure.

But mainly I wish people would really say what tefilos were answered. Did they daven for warm weather in the summer? Cold weather in the winter? Or were there really shelo min hatevah nisim? Inquiring minds would like to know. Smile

I'm particularly skeptical of anything targeting tzniyus. I have nothing against tzniyus, but for as long as I can remember,it's been used and reused ad nauseam as an excuse or explanation for basically everything that can and does go wrong in the world. And how convenient that most of it seems to apply to women! Now we can be held personally responsible, not just because we're daughters of Eve but because we're not tzanua enough. I have yet to hear of men being exhorted to work on their tzniyus and certainly no related segulah.

Enough, already! Find some other soapbox to stand on.

OK, in the interest of true הצנע לכת, I take it upon myself not to buy or otherwise pursue a luxury car, fur, or diamond jewelry. Happy now? BTW this is why I don't participate in those well-known tzedaka auctions with lavish prizes worth thousands of dollars. Total turnoff. If I want to give tzedakah, I'll give it. Don't seduce me into giving by whetting my appetite for ostentatious luxuries. Talk about your Golden Calf!

I'm done with davening to hashem and done with any segulah. I've tried so many things for 2 very important things and nothing. I'm angry and mad and frustrated with no end in sight. Every segulah thread is such a trigger for me. Bye.
This all is my zos chanukah tefillah to hashem.

I'm done with segulas too. I have been waiting too long for yeshuas. But I'm not done davening to Hashem. I know he gave me this situation and only he can take me out. I give up. There's nothing I can do.

OP, thanks for sharing.
#3 is crucial.
And my apologies for anyone for whom this is triggering. I would say, don't take on something as segulah. Take on something as a kabbalah. Let it sustainable. Remember point 3 above. And here's the triggering: Decide that it's worth it because it builds a greater connection between us and Hashem.
And to all reading this, may Hashem be memaleh kol mishalos libeinu l'tovah, b'karov!

I'm very tzniusdig. Really. My neckline are 100% kosher, my skirt lengths, my sleeve lengths, my sheitel - everything 100% kosher. I don't mind doing something in tznius but I need to be promised I'll get a yeshua in return if that can't happen this won't either. I'm not doing anything for hashem anymore.

your post is really out of line. Why would you cool off anyone that is inspired to do something?

Segulos seem to be quite a childlike understanding of Hashem- I asked nicely enough so He let the baby have the chocolate, or even, I extended my skirts an inch, or shortened my sheitel an inch, and that made Hashem happy. Hashem doesn’t need us to make Him happy with little peace offerings. He needs us to abide by the spiritual and physical systems He put in place, because through that system He gives us goodness, He doesn’t override these systems unless the whole of klal yisroel are on the brink of collapse, like the edge of the Yam Suf.
Certain huge tzaddikim through the generations have had, through immense wisdom, peeks into the workings of Hashem’s spiritual system to the point where they could say, if you say this tefillah with the correct intentions and connection, this could unlock certain brochos, it’s always quite specific. But again, if Hashem through His infinite wisdom can see round the corner, how that brocho is actually not good for you, or not good for you now, I don’t think He‘ll give it.

Waiting for the commenters who are only going to read the first half of this and get wildly triggered.

Kneidelmeidel, precisely! That's why I don't tolerate "segulos" ESPECIALLY when ppl say yeshua is guaranteed. Oh, really? As someone posted a long time ago on a similar thread, Hashem is not a vending machine, put in your segulah or kabbalah or call it what you will, and pop! Out comes your desired outcome. Very childish thinking, and I am not a child.

How is this proof that the segulah works? Can I kindly say that I'm disappointed by the incredible amount of illogical arguments I see here? I'm sorry. I a person in Kansas with the same ailment as you heard that chewing bubble gum will cur her and kach hava, she was cured, would that be proof that bubble gum cures this issue?

Proof would be if we followed 5000 people with the same problem. 2500 did the segulah and the other 2500 didn't and the segulah group had a better result. That's it. Personal anacdotal stories don't prove anything.

I saw another person yesterday say that she's "proof" tefilah works since she recovered. I'm glad she recovered. But this is almost childlike in terms of it's logic. Do all the atheists who recover from serious illness prove that tefila doesn't work? I mean, c'mon I'm sure the (many) people making these comments can do better.

And to your last point, the risk of segulahs is that they are presented as magic hope. Meaning we know you cried your eyes out to hashem, davened and begged for a yeshuah and it wasn't enough. But....if you write down what you want and tie it to a string and connect it to the menorah, then you might get hashem's attention. Really? Is that hashem's system? And then when it doesn't work (and it doesn't for many) people are discouraged and lose hope.

I really hope that what I'm saying doesn't hurt anyone's feelings.

Kol hakavod. I'll bet you look both chic and dignified. Why would you need to take on something else? Leaving aside your pain for a moment, the only thing I could think is, let's say you overshare, so that could be a tznius commitment.

But while I do feel people can see yeshuos when they do something growth-oriented, I'm not into the ones that say "it must be in one particular area."

I hope you get sipuk in doing these things, even if only for yourself. Hugs in the spirit in which they're truly intended.

Was that something in tznius or just an area that you felt needed improvement in and would make a statement to Hashem that you're trying to improve and grow closer?

OK, I read through.
What may come more easily for you, and me as well, is the conviction that taking on kaballos is still worth it.

And because you know pople it has helped, its going to work for everyone?
Thats not how judaism works.
Thats not how hashem works.

You make it sound like a vending machine. That of course, if I do xyz, of course abc will occur. That does not always happen. And not how it works.

And many never get the tefilos answered, no matter what they do.
