A lot has troubled you; a lot has kept you awake all night, worried about your own life, existence and the safety of all that you own. There is war on every side around you; you have enemies all around you cursing every good thing in you hands – they are always praying that the worst happens to you at all times; that you’ll have no peace or happiness; that even your little children will grow up in terror and fear, but don’t get worried.
Rejoice today, rejoice O Israel! The Lord your God has given you good neighbors, though not so close to you, they are always praying for you, wishing you all the best and more that all strong nations should have.
The Lord has given you friends in the lands close and far who share all your burdens with you, who won’t rest their tongues before the Lord until they see a smile on your face. You’re not alone in this world; don’t feel like an orphan, you’re not a stranger in this world; this world is yours because the Lord your God owns every Land, air and water on, in and under it, even beyond it.
Sleep enough tonight; someone else has taken on the burden of praying for you; they are in the lands far away pleading your case, even your burden.
Eat enough today, drink and feel your stomach, don’t cry even today, don’t look sad today; today is a day for you to be happy, the Lord’s hand is with you and you’re safe among your enemies. Go and visit the holy and sacred places, the places of prayer and worship and praise the Lord your God. Yes, rejoice in the presence of the Lord because he is there among you.
