Hope, Hold, Take Heart

I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living. Hope in him, hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord!
Ps.26:14

David writes a psalm of hope and unshakable faith in God, a faith that rises above circumstances.

Our faith is an optimistic faith. It encourages me to always be looking forward and up, not back and down. Yes, setbacks happen, effort is criticised, evil is inflicted. But faith calls me to see beyond. It promises something wonderful.

Today as a man of faith I hope, I hold, I take heart.

Jesus, you received criticism and attack but you always looked forward and up. Help me always accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. 
Saint Philip Neri, please pray for me.
