I mean we don't see huge miracles that can give "proof" (obviously He's allowing us to wake up in the morning, breathe, etc...)

How do we reconcile the concept of free choice with Divine Providence?
We have free will, yet Hashem decides all outcomes and designs what is best for each of us.
If there is such a fine line between the two, how do we find it and live in that space of a peaceful co-existence?
How do we know when we have done enough and when to turn things over to Hashem?

I don’t have a very good relationship with my father he was aloof and uncaring sometimes and at other times he was highly aggressive towards me. I find myself in moments of panic and fear thinking that G-d is just a bigger stronger version of that, and he doesn’t care about me.

The flip side of that is that she expects everyone else to be the same way, if I was playing with a toy and another child came over and wanted to play with it then she expected me to give it up… if I didn’t I was called selfish, and told I had bad middos… now as an adult...2022-12-0527 minChassidus, through the eyes of a psychotherapistGrief, forgiveness and opening the heartA pre Yom Kippur class2022-10-0452 minChassidus, through the eyes of a psychotherapistHow do I know if my heart is thinking or my mind is thinking?How do we know where a thought is coming from?

Chassidus, through the eyes of a psychotherapistTanya class 21 - When we feel dead inside, opening our heart is the first stage in building our relationship with G-dA true relationship involves feeling the other, love and respect of an active kind. If we feel indifferent towards G-d we must know that connection is not possible when the heart is closed and defended. If we feel closed and defended the first place to begin in our divine service is facing our grief, opening our hearts and returning to the expanded light that we always were. 2022-06-2443 minChassidus, through the eyes of a psychotherapistTanya class 20 - Making space for otherhttps://astillsmallvoice.org/the-two-trees-at-edens-center/ - this is a link the the article I talk about in this class2022-06-0358 minChassidus, through the eyes of a psychotherapistTanya class 19 - We all serve somethingTo go out of our comfort zone for someone or something we love, we first must feel comfort in our zone, and then choose to come out for the other.

We are told don’t steal, don’t murder if someone does those things, they are absolutely wrong.
On the other hand, we are told G-d is one unified field, G-d is everything and G-d is good, so how do we live with this paradox?
