It is so easy to fill our days with anxious thoughts of worry and dread. The Torah actually has a cure worth trying. It won't replace proper medication, nor will it take
the place of therapy or exercise, but it will give you an extra boost of hope and calm that can help you through the day.
Why, just a little learning from Torah each day can help remind you of all the people who overcame so much in their lives to do so much good in the world. Think of Joseph, Jacob and Moses. There was so much difficulty and heartache in their lives. Yet they mustered their courage and were willing to take risks. They each did it because they had one common unshakeable belief.
They believed that God has a purpose for everything. They understood what was outside of their control and let go of it. They took responsibility for what was in their control and did what they needed to do.
So too for us. With each intentional act of letting go and getting busy, we trade our current worries and anxieties for God's eternal comfort.
