I hadn't heard it besheim RYBS. And I'm surprised  that he would say
it, it doesn't sound like RYBS's style. Too far from  straight Brisk,
even for him, to speak in terms of what Hashem did rather  than how we
should respond.

At my nephew's bar mitzvah, my father  handed out small posters with a
*similar* sentiment by RAYK. (Did I mention  this was in Lakewood?)



RYBS,in Al HaTeshuvah IIRC,  quoted the idea from Rav Kook  in Olat Rayah, on 
the tefillah of' 'Elokai ad shelo notzart ieini  kedai.'
