Reopening The Clogged Channels Of Livelihood

Since the beginning of Creation, a steady flow of abundant grace has constantly descended upon the world, sustaining life in all its manifestations. A person with an unclouded mind understands this and does not worry about earning his livelihood. He knows with certitude that the uninterrupted flow of abundance is bound to reach him. But if a person’s faith begins to waiver and he is apprehensive about gaining his daily bread, then the channels become blocked. However, G-d will reopen these clogged channels in response to diligent Torah study and fervent prayer.

(Reb Zusia of Anapol)
