Daily Chizuk #1399

Part of the process of growing in emunah is to train ourselves to think with pure hashkafa. Our nature is to see things the way they appear to be, but we must be able to see beyond what meets the eye.
If we believe that it's the children that cause the difficulties, that would be a good point. But once again, it is Hashem who decides how many struggles a person needs to have for his own good, and those struggles could come in many different ways, including parnasa, relationships, health, and the list goes on. In the zechut of struggling in a mitzvah, like raising children in the ways of Hashem, that will only remove other potential forms of struggle, and the person will be rewarded for this struggle as well.
This is the pure hashkafa of emunah that the Chazon Ish has ingrained into himself and shared with us. Of course, we appreciate all of Hatzalah's efforts, and we appreciate medication and everything else that Hashem provides for us, but we must know, אין עוד מלבדו - He is the Hatzalah, He is the medication, only He decides who lives. The more we understand that, the purer our emunah will be.
