"Against all probabilities"
The Maccabees began a revolt against the Greeks. In response, Antiochus sent thousands of foot soldiers, cavalry, and hundreds of armed elephants to crush the uprising. (Megillat Antiochus, Encyclopedia Britannica VI Maccabees)
But they didn't beat us!!
When all the odds are against you, when the road is difficult, when life's circumstances seem overwhelming, when there seems to be no way out, when you are ready to give up, to surrender, when you feel like it's useless to fight and when you feel like there is nothing you can do to change things, nothing you can do to fix them, remember that there is never a reason to lose hope, because just beyond the horizon is the light!
So gather your courage, strengthen your soul and prepare for battle!
Empty your mind of all thoughts that tell you you can't, understand that they are your true enemies.
Open your heart to encouraging thoughts, let them lift your spirits!
Understand that all power comes only from the Blessed Creator! and that only He can elevate your spirit.
So don't be alarmed when the odds are against you, nor worry when the road seems difficult.
Don't give up! Don't give up in the face of life's circumstances!
Don't feel like a mouse facing an elephant, don't let yourself be crushed by the enemy, and don't be like the elephant being led by a rope pulled by a mere mouse.
Use the powers the Creator gave you! The strength of character you can rely on.
Look at what is in front of you as if it were a blade of grass.
The Eternal One does not create situations that we cannot overcome, nor problems that we cannot solve.
This power will be at your disposal when you believe in Him.
It's always possible!
When we affirm ourselves in True Emunah.
