The Rebbe on Trust
Conversations, Letters and Talks of the Lubavitcher Rebbe Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson on Bitachon: Trusting in G d
Bitachon is the Key
As the Lubavitcher Rebbe lifted a people after the holocaust and motivated them daily through their internal and external challenges, Bitachon - trust and faith - was the "tool" the Rebbe used. Training a generation that G-d runs the world and everything will work out to the best. Learn from the Rebbe and build your trust one step at a time!
Happiness in Hardship
It's true, sometimes all goes well. But other times? You make plans – only for everything to fall apart. What are you supposed to do then? And how do you put your trust in G-d – and serve Him with joy – if you never know what's around the corner? But trusting in G-d is about more than believing He'll do whatever you think is right. It's about recognizing that His plan is greater than anything you could even imagine. So next time things "don't work out," embrace the new opportunities it provides. And get ready for the amazing things to come. Now, that's real joy.
The Difference Between Faith and Trust
There are two fundamental principles that are so central to the foundation of the United States that they were engraved on its coins and printed on its currency: “In G-d We Trust” and “E Pluribus Unum – Out of many, one.”

On Faith, Part 1
Classic Torah sources teach two conflicting ideas when it comes to “Trust in G-d”: On the one hand, a person is commanded to rest assured that G-d will deliver him from any predicament, in a way that will be openly and clearly good; to never lose hope, for G-d is the source of infinite goodness.
On Faith, Part 2
All human beings are commanded to believe in G-d. But must they “trust” in Him, as well?
“Having true trust in Hashem is one of the fundamentals of our holy Torah and it reduces worry, until it nullifies it altogether. Thus, one can serve Hashem with true joy.”

“A strengthened real trust in Hashem. In addition to [trust] being a foundation of our belief, it is also a direct cure for your above mentioned situation (and the medical professionals are also in agreement with this). [Remember to study] Chitas. I will pray for you at the Ohel.”
