[Tzava'at HaRivash 4:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/4:1)

כלל גדול גול על ה' מעשיך ויכונו מחשבותיך שכל דבר שיזדמן יחשוב שהוא מאתו יתברך ויראה שיבקש מהשי"ת שיזמין לו תמיד מה שהשי"ת יודע שהוא לטובתו ולא מה שנראה לב"א ע"פ שכלו כי אפשר מה שבעיניו טוב הוא רע לו רק ישליך הכל כל עניניו וצרכיו עליו יתברך:

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
An important principle is as follows,⁹ “Turn your deeds toward *HaShem*, and your thoughts will be set aright.” In other words, know that everything that comes about is from *HaShem*, blessed is He. See to it, to always request of *HaShem*, blessed is He, to bring about what He knows is for your good, rather than what appears to be good according to human intellect. For it is possible that what you think is good for you is actually bad. Instead, cast all your affairs and needs upon *HaShem*, blessed is He, as the verse states,¹⁰ “Cast your burden upon *HaShem* and He will sustain you.”
