SHEMOS
It's All About Trust
There are two paths in the journey of life. One can travel the natural path, living a life according to the laws of nature. However, one also has the ability to ascend to the path of trust (bitachon), relying on the goodness of the Almighty, and then matters align in that direction against all odds.
Thus, instead of following the course of fate, one can recreate fate through cleaving to Hashem’s love for us.
Of course, the concept of bitachon raises a fundamental question that has occupied the minds of the greatest thinkers: How can a person be certain that Hashem will deal kindly with them? Perhaps they are undeserving, and Hashem has, Heaven forbid, other plans.
