@davidic.psalms: "The list is long. Good health, wealth, marriage, children, success, a comfortable home, a good community, loyal friends. The list keeps going on." And our hopes get even more specific. Please let this deal go through. Please let it be sunny on our vacation. Please calm the baby down. Please clear up the traffic so I can get to work on time. We have every right to ask for all of it. When we do, we show that we know who runs everything. But hopes are fleeting. One day we want one thing, the next day something else. Once a problem is solved, we move on, sometimes without even saying thank you. Psalm 39:8 takes us somewhere deeper: "And now, for what do I hope, Hashem? My longing is to You." Hope comes and goes. Longing is constant. Underneath every request is one longing that never leaves us: to be close to God. "We're not here just to day trade." The long-term investor knows he's in the market for decades. If his million-dollar portfolio drops $30,000, he isn't shaken. He doesn't need the money today, and he trusts it will recover. Imagine carrying that attitude into every downturn in life. Small problems fade because they were small all along. The bigger ones become a reason to hold on tighter. Something to sit with today: think of a moment that felt like a disaster at the time and later faded away. The next time a challenge shakes you, remember the long-term portfolio. A Daily Dose of Trust in God, from the book by Rabbi David Sutton. The full teaching lives on our page, in nine short parts. #psalms #faith #hope #longtermthinking #mindset
