Moshe Dovid Valle in his commentary on Tehillim (Psalms) 3:6 describes what I have been experiencing over the past few days. He explains that when a person is undergoing difficult times he loses his מוחין דגדלות, literally big mindedness. All that remains are his מוחין דקטנות, small mindedness, which means the person is essentially asleep. But when the person recognizes his loss and cries out to Hashem his words are heard and the מוחין דגדלות are returned; he is like a person who has awakened from a deep sleep. He suddenly feels a strength not only about the present but even about the future, and does not fear those forces which seem to be assembling against him.
