Dovid HaMelech (King David) writes in Tehillim Chapter 12, verse 2,

“Save me Hashem, for those who are devout have vanished...”

Do you ever feel that you are all alone? That you are completely isolated? - No one is interested in what you wish to do, in what you wish to create. No one understands what you are trying to gain. No one cares about anything you wish to achieve.

This feeling is one of life`s realities. It is a necessary element of being the person you are.

 Every person is obligated to say for me the world was created. This means that from a certain perspective, there is only you and Hashem in this world - nothing else. There is all that you do every moment, every day. Then there is the world around you, the world that interacts with you, that responds to all you think, say and do.

From this point of view, everything that surrounds you, every person, every object, is all Hashem. It is Hashem working with you, challenging you, provoking you, and calling for you.

 And so, you can rely on no one else. No one will do any part of your mission. You may be able to delegate some simple activities to helpers around you - but the push, the drive and the finish come only from you. You must do it all.

 …for trustworthy people are no more.

 You cannot trust others with your heart, with your breath. You must feel for yourself. You must breathe for yourself. You must do for yourself.

 You cannot trust others with your dreams, with your hopes, with your prayers. You must dream for yourself. You must hope for yourself. You must pray for yourself.

 One avenue of help however, does remain open to you. It is a great highway along which the trucks and ambulances scream down all day. It is a 24-hour line on which you may call for all types of assistance - money, physical strength, and inspiration. This avenue, this line leads to Hashem. And to use it, all you need is to call out - all you need is to cry, HELP.

 Help me Hashem, I am lost. I feel overwhelmed by all I must prepare, all I must accomplish. I am scared of the width of my responsibility. I feel powerless to fulfill my duty. Help me Hashem to reach my every goal. Help me to arrive at my every success and happiness.

(Rabbi Avraham Tzvi Schwartz, Hearts of Fire, Feldheim, New York)

 This is what Tehillim Hotline is all about. Through the many cycles of daily recital of Tehillim, the lines of communication are open. Dovid HaMelech composed the words that give expression to the thoughts and emotions in our hearts and minds, which open for us the gateway to Hashem enabling us to place our requests and needs directly in front of the Heavenly Throne.
