A Tree Planted by the Waterside
A person who sincerely trusts in HaShem never worries, as the verse says (Yermiyahu 17): "Blessed is the person who trusts in HaShem, and HaShem is his protection. He is like a tree planted by the waterside that spreads its roots into the stream." Just as a tree planted by the waterside never worries for lack of water, so too, a person who trusts in HaShem never worries because he connects himself to the Source of Good.
Lesson: A person who trusts in HaShem never fears any setback or downfall, as the verse says: "I will trust and I will not be afraid"(Ishaiah 12).
Visualization: Envision a tree planted by the waterside with its roots drawing water from the stream. Release yourself from worry by placing your heartfelt trust in HaShem and enjoy His unbounded and ever-present blessings, protection, forgiveness, and loving kindness!
