The Mishnah (Brachos 40.) says, אם כולם ועל יצא בדברו נהיה שהכל אמר, "For all foods, if one says the bracha of Shehakol, he is yotzei." The Lechovitzer zt'l explains these words as follows, "For all tzaros, when one says שהכל בדברו נהיה, that it occurred by Hashem's word and decree, יצא, with this emunah, he will be freed from his tzaros."
The Nesivos Shalom zt'l relates that when he was a child, living in Baranovitz during the First World War, German soldiers burst into his home and instructed everyone in the house to face the wall. They intended to shoot them all, r'l. Their father, Reb Moshe Brozovsky zt'l hy'd asked his son Reb Nochum Zev zt'l to bring him a cup of water because he wanted to say a Shehakol. Upon receiving the water, the father said shehakol with kavanah. Just then, they heard from outside that Russian soldiers had arrived in the area. The German soldiers immediately left the house to fight with the Russians, and that is how the Brozovsky family was saved. The children asked their father whether they had just witnessed a miracle. He replied that it wasn't his mofes. "I received the kabbalah that when one is in a tzarah, and he says בדברו נהיה שהכל, he will be saved from the problem."
This is the power of emunah. It turns around the most challenging situations, and everything becomes good.
A brother and a sister, sole survivors of their family, came to Eretz Yisrael after the Holocaust. The bachur studied in a yeshiva, and the sister studied in a Bais Yaakov school. When the girl came of age for marriage, a shidduch was suggested with a fine bachur.
