The Marvelous Segulah in Auschwitz

We often find ourselves in difficult situations, confronted by one adversity after another and in constant conflict with other people’s desires. R. Chaim Volozhin (Nefesh HaChaim, part 3, ch. 12) writes that there is a very powerful segulah to overcome all this: When you find yourself in trying circumstances, remember that nothing can affect you when you firmly decide in your heart to believe that Hashem is the true G-d, and that there is no independent power anywhere in the universe besides Him. Everything is His will, and His will alone.
