A Spiritual Remedy to Remember

BS’D

T​ehillim 103 talks about the importance of remembering all of the good Hashem does for us.  It is a good remedy to read this perek with a request for keeping one’s memory intact.

​What happens when we forget​ ​- Dovid HaMelech writes in this perek:​​

• When I forget His forgiveness, I go about feeling guilty, ashamed, condemned. This is why I must remember that ​Hashem is a forgiving G​-d. And He forgives all.
• When I forget His healing, I go about feeling broken, wounded, unwell. This is why I must​ ​remember that ​Hashem​ is a healing G​-d. And He heals all.
• When I forget His redeeming, I go about feeling dejected, depressed, downcast. This is why I must remember that ​Hashem is a redeeming G​-d. He doesn’t want me to live in the pit.
• When I forget His crowning of me with love and compassion, I go about trying to earn what I already have, trying to prove what is already true, trying to desperately grasp for what ​Hashem is freely offering me. He honors me by loving me and giving me His compassion.
• When I forget His satisfying of my desires with good things, I go about trying to fill my desires with whatever lies at hand, good or not. ​Hashem wants me to ​remember the good things He gives.
