| King David met every challenge with his immutable rule, "Even if the sword is lying on your neck, do not despair from praying to HaShem and asking Him for compassion." King David left us an invaluable legacy, a winning game-plan for life. That is, to always stay optimistic by invariably trusting in HaShem with all of your strength, and finding success in His salvation. When you have a financial crisis, an illness, or a broken relationship, etc., never give up. Strengthen your trust in HaShem and turn to Him for help. HaShem is waiting for our prayers and heartfelt supplications. In the blink of an eye, HaShem will turn our darkness to light and our sorrow to joy.
King David was brave and uncompromisingly hopeful in his absolute trust in HaShem, even in the most trying moments. His faith in HaShem was the secret of his incomparable greatness, holiness, and accomplishments.
Envision King David strengthening his faith in HaShem, even when the odds were against him. For instance, taking on -- and overcoming -- Goliath. Follow King David's example and turn to HaShem when the chips are down. Be irrepressible and confident that HaShem will save you and convert your darkness to light and your hardship into joy.
