Trust and Faith

„The shadows of doubt spread in the same measure that the divine light is not grasped within the inner essence of life.”From Orot HaKodesh I, 39

Anarchy comes into the world when certainty is shaken and there is no security about what tomorrow will bring. This is true in the private domain and in the public one, and in our world of faith and values – like a turning wheel, faith and doubt revolve: when faith prevails, certainty prevails; when doubt prevails, faith is broken and fear rules. When we perceive that things are being done improperly, our faith is shaken, worry creeps into our heart, and this is very dangerous. In our world there is no empty space; our task now is to strengthen trust and faith. Trust in human beings – to be people worthy of it. And faith in the Holy One, in prayer that He bring healing to the world.
