Mufti Menk – There Will Always Be Hope

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

At least the almighty knows,

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

and your relationship with him should make you

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

smile. Oh my lord, I'm struggling.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:08

I'm trying.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

I falter from time to time. I slip

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

and slide from time to time. Forgive me.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

Strengthen me. I know I've got to get

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

to you. I know there's so much that

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

I need to correct. With your help, your

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

love, your care for me. I will keep

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

improving as the days pass, and I trust

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

you

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

to love me and to guide me, to

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

strengthen me in a way that when I

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

meet you one day,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

you are pleased with me.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

Who made you? Allah made you. He knows

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

you personally. He knows your struggles.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

He knows you're a human. He knows your

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

weaknesses too. He knows how you fall and

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

falter. He knows how you may sin. That

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

should not make you feel for a moment

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

that he's no longer your Lord.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

That should not make you feel for a

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

moment that you are so distant from him

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

that there is no hope. No. There is

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

hope. There is always hope,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

but think about it and do something about

00:01:07 --> 00:01:07

it.
