In addition to contemplating this, he should articulate all his thoughts, repeating words of emunah, and affirming that only Hashem determines every detail. He should review each point, one after the other with great patience, because this will have a major effect on the soul. (There are two ways to do this: He could speak about Hashem in the third person, saying that Hashem determines each detail, such as this one and that one. The other way is to speak directly to Hashem in the second person, saying, "You, Hashem, determined who shall be my wife and where my home will be." This is a lofty level that expresses the goal of a person's life which is to feel that he is in the presence of Hashem. But if this is difficult to start with, one may use the third person.)

Interesting that speaking to Hashem in third person is a lower level than speaking to Hashem as "You". When we speak to humans in third person, it is a sign of respect, separation, perhaps this is yir'ah, which is still positive, but in context of dveikut lower than Ahava- love and connecion.

(Does what I just said make any sense?)
