Rabbi David Sutton — A Daily Dose of Pesukim of Bitachon Volume 2
Bitachon is more than a source of comfort — it is a way of seeing the world. It allows a person to face life with clarity instead of fear, confidence instead of anxiety, and a profound awareness that every moment is guided by Hashem.

The Maharal writes that these pesukim carry extraordinary power, serving as a source of blessing, protection, and spiritual strength. In this inspiring Inside ArtScroll interview, Rabbi David Sutton discusses the timeless wisdom behind his second volume of, A Daily Dose of Pesukim of Bitachon. He explains how these carefully chosen pesukim can help us deepen our emunah, strengthen our relationship with Hashem, and approach life with greater peace and confidence.
