Trust Hashem
There are people walking around, lo alenu, with a grudge against Hashem. They may feel that Hashem hurt them or humiliated them or held back goodness from them and they can’t look past it. They have become less enthusiastic to follow Torah and mitzvot as a result. One day, we’re all going to see what we thought was Hashem hurting us was in actuality Hashem turning over the world to help us in the best way possible. He does everything for our benefit. We’re then going to say, “I can’t believe it, I totally misjudged Hashem.” But now, before Hashem reveals this to us, we have a chance to show our emunah and say to him, “I trust You. I know what You are doing is exactly what I need and I know you are doing it to help me. I’m going to love you no matter what and continue serving You to the best of my ability.” If we can do that, then when Hashem finally reveals His plans to us, we’ll be in a state of jubilation, reaping the rewards for believing in Him the entire time.
