🇺🇸 English
Sometimes life feels heavy, confusing, and overwhelming. Even David asked, “Why are you cast down, O my soul?” But he reminded himself to put hope in God.

Example:
When you feel discouraged, stressed, or lonely, don’t stay trapped in your emotions. Pray, trust God, and remember — this season is not the end. God is still your hope and strength. ✝️

ဥပမာ:
စိတ်ညစ်နေသောအခါ၊ အထီးကျန်နေသောအခါ၊ ပြဿနာများကြားတွင် မျှော်လင့်ချက်မပျောက်ပါနဲ့။ ဆုတောင်းပါ၊ ဘုရားကို ယုံကြည်ပါ — ယခုအချိန်က သင့်ဇာတ်လမ်း၏ အဆုံးမဟုတ်သေးပါ။ ✝️

Khat veivei nuntakna ah lungkhamna, lunghimawhna leh beidawnna hong tung thei hi. David mahmah in zong, “Bang hangin khakunkun ka hi hiam?” ci-in kidong hi. Ahi zongin Pasian sungah lametna koih kik hi.

Etpakna:
Na lunghimawh ciang, na beidawn ciang, buaina lakah naom ciang lametna khahsuah kei in. Thu ngen inla, Pasian muang in — tua hun pen na tawpna hilo hi. Pasian pen na lametna leh na tha ahi. ✝️
