For Yosef Hatzaddik on his high level of kedusha and closeness with Hashem etc…. To ask the sar Hamashkim to put a good word…. Was a lack of faith (maybe not on our level, but on his high level) and we all know that’s why he was punished with 2 more years of prison. Don’t fool yourself it’s written straight in the Torah….
Sure we all need to do our hishtadlus… Take our medicine or visit a doctor C”V when necessary but to “DEPEND” on the doctor or Rebbe for help-versus just going for advice on health, torah, halacha or parnassa etc….-is going to far. Hashem should be the only one we should be truly dependant on. Our other partners from our spouse to our business partner or boss etc… Are just middlemen and direct messengers from Hashem to help or guide us but the help is really all coming from Hashem and we need to thank Hashem for everything.
