“…whoever trusts in what is other than G-d, G-d removes His providence from him and leaves him in the hands of whatever he trusted in.” ~ Chovos Halevovos (Duties of the Heart

“The entire sequence of incomprehensible events that led to the brothers standing before Yosef in Egypt, became instantly rationalized the moment he said ‘I am Yosef.’  Similarly, in the future, when the nations of the world will hear the immortal words ‘I am Hashem, your G-d,’ all the seemingly inexplicable occurrences that shape the world on a day-to-day basis, will become clear.”  ~ Chafetz Chaim

“Anytime something happens that upsets us, we should let emuna precede intellect.  Emuna must be our initial thought!  Before the brain and intellect begin blaming our troubles on ‘natural’ forces and phenomena, on others, or on ourselves, our emuna tells us that our particular predicament or situation is exactly what Hashem wants, otherwise it wouldn’t have occurred.” ~ The Garden of Emuna
