On their exodus from Egypt, towards Mount Sinai, the Jewish people arrived at an obstacle—the Red Sea.
They divided into four parties.
One advocated mass suicide.
One said to surrender and return.
One prepared to fight.
One began to pray.
G‑d spoke to Moses and said, “Why are you crying out to Me? I told you to travel straight ahead. Keep going and you will see there is no obstacle!”
The Jewish people kept going
and the obstacle became a miracle.
Keep Going On The Tight-Rope!
The Israelites were confronted with a powerful decision:
Let go your egoistic force that disconnects you from others and
causes conflict, divisiveness and hatred.
Then with prayer for peaceful connection between us, a miracle will happen -
G_d will enable His Light, the opposite force, to correct your instinctive egoistic force. His light will bring peace amongst us. This is he revelation of G_d between us.
Only He can balance the powerful opposing forces, ready to overwhelm us. Only He can sustain our balance on the tight-rope.
Working in groups, we have to initiate the process.
This is how we 'keep going' along His tight-rope until all humanity reaches Gmar Tikkun.

keep going Always be strong and courageous, that's what He commanded us to do. There are no obstacles in life as long as we have Him in our heart. Reply
To follow G-d Instructions
None of the parties were about to do the right thing!
That's the difference between to have a leader who follows G-d instructions and another who doesn't. I pray for the leaders of my country to follow G-d instructions.

Keep Going Keep Going! And that says all; just keep going. Thank You for this impressive piece, I wish I had read this in the morning to make my day, I'll remember it tomorrow morning! Reply
Moses remembered his faith
Obstacles in life are only the manifestations of fear.
Moses remembered the second commandment, and at that very moment all the obstacles disappeared!

Keep Going I believe any obstacles we have can become a miracle, if we only believe and trust in God. Thank you for posting this article it was very nicely written. Reply
Keep Going- Brick Walls Thank you so much. This is a very inspiring piece, not only for us as Jews but for everyone. We live in a time where there are many obstacles. G-d will handle it if we just listen. I will try to learn from this. Reply
Yes, G-d spoke to Moses, and we operate in silence If only we had a direct divine message to go forward when prospects look bleak, it would not be hard to keep going forward. When one has prayed and prayed, and the obstacles continue to pile up, one might be forgiven for wanting to give up. Reply
Following the Torah, we learn that all our ancestors overcame obstacles with faith. Nobody proomised us that life would be easy, but we were given the means to be strong and overcome obstacles. The latter are a stone in the road, and leanrning how to navigate it with trust our insgihts and a faith in H', life is then less difficult and worthy. Sadly, not all people follow, and then there is strife but even that we have learned to overcome it. Am Israel Chai.
