Hope is Healing to the Soul
"We hope for Your salvation all day long." (Shemoneh Esrei)Success and happiness blossoms from steadfast trust in HaShem. Hope is the life and peace of the soul. Therefore hope is healing to the soul, even before the object of our hope comes to fruition. The very faith and trust in HaShem causes the fulfillment of our hope. Lesson: Spiritual vitality is awakened by continuously strengthening our trust in HaShem's kindness, so that we are always filled with the joy and delight of optimism.App: Plant the seeds of your salvation by always being strong in your hope and trust that HaShem will save, help, and protect you. (Based on Ohr RaShaz)
