"Many great sages say that, thought creates action and actions, create reality. In Parsha Vayeitzei - Yaakov ask God to protect him, to provide food and shelter on his journey. Rav Hirsch of the 18th century said that what Yaakov was really asking for, was strength and focus to retain his character, his integrity, in the face of war and family battles. Simply put- God provides everything- even internal qualities, and according to Torah the only way to connect to God's sustenance, is through - good intentions and actions, like Yakov’s prayers and facing his brother Esav.
When traveling into new realities of greatness, personal growth- aka the unknown - Yaakov is teaching us, in parsha Vayeitzei, all we can do is ask God to help us focus on the right things- staying strong and having integrity... so that those thoughts create action...and those actions create a greater reality.”
