CLD #107

In everyone's lives there is usually something that happens that is more than mind-boggling, and cannot be explained rationally. From deaths to shiduch-breakups to illnesses; the human mind cannot accept something going wrong when one thinks everything is so great. Story: Eliyahu HaNavi in middle of night walks into really Poor Jew's home (who receives parnasa SOLELY from a single cow) and the Jew treats him like a king (not knowing he is Eliyahu) and the Jew passes the test. On the way out, Eliyahu sneaks into the barn, and kills the cow. What? Answer: There was a gzar din saying the life of the wife of this poor Jew are over, and Eliyahu was sent to test him one last time. If he passes, the cow will be killed instead of the wife. We need to think before we jump to the conclusions that Hashem is doing the "wrong" thing for us. Sometimes we also need to pray to get a spiritual "relaxation" to believe that what is happening is for the good.
