It Is Not Hopeless

Recently I have seen several movies that were meant to make me feel better. In the end, very sad things happened to the truly good people in the movies. It was meant to make me feel encouraged, but mostly it made life seem hopeless. That is not the way it seems to me in scriptures. It seems to me in scriptures that our Messiah comes to be our hope, our eager expectation, of a restored position with our Father like it was in the garden. At this moment I am still trying to understand. Here is a scripture that brings hope.

Psalms 103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

When I read passages like these, how can I expect anything but a Father that heals completely, that restores completely, that is on our side ready to provide for us?

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision, such that it overflows from us to others. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us, and replace them with thoughts and memories of only You. Heal us inside that we might be healed outside. Deliver us from the evil here. Rise up, my King, and lift up Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). WE ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! Amen.
