Psalm 25 begins with a heartfelt plea: "In you, Lord my God, I put my trust" (Psalm 25:1, NIV). This opening verse sets the tone for the entire psalm, emphasizing the importance of trust and reliance on God amidst life's uncertainties. Throughout the psalm, the author expresses deep trust in God's character, seeking guidance, forgiveness, and protection.

 We all face moments in life when everything changes. One day, you’re going about your normal routine, and the next, the ground beneath you shifts. For Elias, this moment came when he received a life-altering diagnosis that shook him to his core. His world turned upside down, and he found himself confronting not only the fragility of his body but the depth of his faith.
