True Stories of Hashgachah Pratis in Our Times Every particle in the world is like a piece of a puzzle; each piece has its special and precise place, and each completes the general picture. Hashem, in His hashgachah, directs all our successes and failures, and He is the One Who determines every single thing, down to the finest detail, and the most minor of incidents in our day-today lives. That includes: where we sit in class; who sits in front of us, next to us, or behind us; and everything else that happens in school, at home, in the street, and in the entire world. Every single moment, every situation in our lives, is another puzzle piece that is inserted in its exact spot. Then all these come together to illustrate the miraculous and wonderful leadership of our Father and Shepherd. May He open our hearts with His Torah, and put in our hearts love for Him and fear of Him, and may we fulfill His will with all our might. Life is not ours; it is His and in His hands, and these stories will help you remember that always, b’ezras Hashem.
