Shalom u'Vrachah!

In response to your letter from 8/11, in which you write about the difficulties you have with your speech.

In general, this comes from the state of the nerves (nervenn), so it is worthwhile to consult a specialist doctor about this and follow his instructions.

From the above it is understood that the more you strengthen your trust in the Creator of the world and its Guide—Who watches over each individual with Divine Providence—there is no place for worry or agitation etc., for Hashem stands over him and guards him; and Hashem is the essence of goodness, and it is the nature of good to do good. Thus, agitation and fear will diminish, and as a result your manner of speech will also improve.

Among technical suggestions for this: if you feel that a particular word is difficult to pronounce at that moment, do not force yourself to say it right then. Instead, begin with the word or two before it or speak about another topic; when tension subsides naturally there will be improvement.

Since every matter requires assistance from Heaven, keep to the practice of reciting a daily portion of Tehillim as divided for each day of the month after morning prayers; on every weekday before morning prayers set aside some coins for charity; also have your tefillin checked to ensure they are kosher according to halachah.

Blessings for good news in all mentioned above,
In the name of the Rebbe shlita,
Secretary

P.S. In my secretariat we do not write French; therefore this reply comes in Lashon HaKodesh (Hebrew), but you may write in French since I read that language.

Summary

The Rebbe teaches that both practical steps and strengthening trust in G‑d help overcome challenges. Consulting experts while relying on Divine Providence brings calmness and improvement. Daily spiritual practices support personal growth alongside professional advice.
