PARSHAT KEDOSHIM – TRUSTING G-D AND NOT BEING AFRAID OF TOMORROW

בס”ד

Sometimes people want to know what will happen tomorrow.
That can feel a little scary.
They might feel worried.

Some people go to fortune tellers.
Or they do strange and even scary rituals.
They hope to get answers.

But this is not the right way.

It is better to trust G-d.
G-d takes care of the world.
And you can choose what you do.

You do not need to know the future.
Think about school:
You do not know exactly what will happen,
but you try your best.

Or when you have a test:
You study, and trust it will be okay.

That is the right way.

Be positive.
Do good things.
And trust that things will be okay.

Like the Tenach says:
The one who trusts G-d is surrounded by love.
