Surrendering to God's Will in Difficult Times

He doesn't want this marriage for you. He doesn't want this shiduk for you. He doesn't want this deal for you. He doesn't want this job for you. So, he didn't give it to you. And you're trying to force it. You're trying to write letters. And you want to sue and you want to protest and all these crazy things that people do instead of just simply saying, "Hashem, no." Okay, put my head down. Try something else. YEAH, BUT WHAT IF YOU TRY HARDER? MAYBE. Is it really necessary to try harder on everything? Some things it's not. Sometimes it's simply not the will of Hashem. And of course, a person has to either beam or have access to to know how to go through life. But if you're fighting with every single problem, with every single thing, then of course you're not going to have any energy to live life. Of course you're not going to have any energy to serve Hashem because you're fighting everything and anything. and you forget the whole purpose and the whole reason of why it's even happening. Instead, do what our sages have said, which certainly my dear grandfather directed his words to go with the flow. Bow your head as the waves come. The moment you see an opening, that's where you go. This is one of those lectures that you can hear it not just once or twice, but really on a regular basis as you navigate through the waves of difficulties in your life. Because it's very easy to exert all of our energy to fight against the wall. And many times those fights are unnecessary.
