The Healing Power of Hope \ The Secret of Prayer
D'var Torah: "We hope for Your salvation all day long" (Shemoneh Esrei). Success and happiness blossoms from steadfast trust in HaShem. A constant positive attitude is a healing tonic for the soul. We are so confident in HaShem's kindness that we fill our hearts with the joy of trust, even before our hope comes to fruition. In fact, our very faith and trust in HaShem causes the fulfillment of our hope.
Moral: The root of happiness is our trust in HaShem. As man continuously strengthens his trust in HaShem's kindness, he is always filled with the joy and delight of optimism.
Application: Envision the steadfast trust of Moshe Rabenu. Even in the darkness of the Egyptian slavery, he trusted that HaShem would save Klal Yisrael. He inspired the entire nation with trust in HaShem. Their trust in HaShem healed their souls and awakened their miraculous redemption. Plant the seeds of your salvation by always being full of hope that HaShem will save, help, and protect you.
