The main thing is to remember that we are not the ones bringing about results. All we do is open the pipeline for Hashem to send them. The more a person recognizes Hashem’s involvement in his hishtadlut, the more effective his hishtadlut will be. It is easy to say that we believe that Hashem is the One in control, but it is much harder to actually put it into action.
Hashem is in full control of every endeavor we set out to accomplish. We do need to make an effort, but only a normal effort. Sometimes there may be gray areas and we can consult with Rabbis on how to proceed. The more we recognize it is all Hashem, the better we’ll be doing our part.
