Here, we come to a sensitive point that’s worth elaborating upon. The Kedushas Levi tells us that when a person believes that Hashem can alter the teva at will, and nothing can prevent it, he will merit that Hashem will indeed conduct Himself that way with him—there are some people who insert here their will. That Hashem will do what they want if they will only believe in His ability to do it. This “little detail” sometimes confuses people, and they say afterward: “But I truly believed that Hashem can do everything, and l’maiseh I didn’t get what I wanted....”
We must clarify this point. A person must say as follows: What the expert says, what the facts say, what the doctors say... doesn’t interest me. The outcome will have no connection to anything they say. Their words are directed at me from Hashem. The Ribbono shel Olam wants to see if I will become unnerved by what they say... if I will lose my bitachon.... If I will start to engage in feverish hishtadlus.
