Bitochon - Trust G-d!

Do you trust that G-d is taking care of you? Do you truly believe that He is watching over you, planning out your life in the way that is best for you, even if this involves challenges and struggles? If yes, then you have no need to worry about the future, no need to stress about what is coming next. You can feel safe, like a baby in his mother's arms.

This doesn't mean, however, that you mustn't plan for the future; it's just that you don't need to worry about it.

You wonder, how could it be that all these bumps in our lives are actually for our good??

To explain, think of a beautifully woven tapestry.
On the back, it looks like a mess with knots and clumps. But on the front, there may be a masterpiece - a magnificent picture. That's what our lives are like. To us, it often seems a mess - with stops and starts and all sorts of knots. But to G-d, Who sees the true masterpiece of our lives, all of these little bits make up the complete picture, the perfect picture. When our lives are done, and we are in our final "home"-right next to G-d-then we will be able to look back and see the whys and wherefores of our lives. We will then understand the purpose and reason for all our difficult challenges. No longer will we question the tough times we faced, and why we had to go through them. In fact, we will be grateful for the things that made us who we were. They were the knots that allowed us to weave our final masterpiece.

We must keep this in mind and hold onto our faith and trust that there is a magnificent picture and an Artist Who is designing it all. Only a fool would look at the back of the tapestry and question the purpose of all that mess. Let's not be a fool. No point in worrying about the future. With this faith, you can live in the now, and trust that G-d, your Higher Power, is guiding you and watching you -- every step of the way.
