You can choose to believe in a G‑d aloof from all things;
a distant G‑d that leaves you in the hands of so many worldly troubles.
Or you can put your trust in a G‑d who carries you as a nursing mother carries her suckling infant by her bosom;
as a father carries his child high upon his shoulders;
as an eagle carries its fledgling young upon its wings.
As large as your trust will be,
so will be the space that He will fill.
G-d is with me everyday... I trust in him.. even if I cannot see him , I feel him! :) I believe and trust in him and I know that he is watching over me and is guiding me not only in my spiritual life but in my career and personal life... thank you Rebbe for all your wisdom that remind us to never give up =) there is a light at the end of the tunnel. =) Reply
Beautiful image, a Tone Poem in red. I'm impressed by the beauty of the images -a twilight illuminates a red desert... the desert where a "distant G-d" has left us with "so many worldly troubles". Perhaps it is so, and perhaps also, G-d is in the twilight, filling all that space... that desert so hard to be lived in, as hard as the struggle to win our daily bread when we sense G-d is far away from us.

Yeah, but. I have been experimenting with this for a long time. For me, unless I incorporate, simultaneously, that G-d is with me through challenges, and somehow, although may not know exactly how, this hard thing is good for me, the image of the loving parent is damaged, and I end up angry. Reply

It is so soothing
When around you things get frightening, you feel really helpless,
how wonderful is the thought, that you are carried by G-d.
I like the picture of the nursing mother cuddling her suckling infant, but I am even more delighted by being a little eagle, carried on the wings of his father. Maybe that is a matter of how you feel. Totally helpless, then you are the baby, or with a little strength on your own, then you prefer the eagle-father.
Anyway it is so good, to be carried by G-d.

Open The Spiritual Gates Wide This is a spiritual 'trust'.
We need to trust in letting go our earthly ego and then he will open wide the spiritual gates for us!
