<\/span><span lang=\"en\">Or worse, when you stopped believing in yourself? <\/span><span lang=\"en\">The questions are inevitable, but the answers are slow to arrive. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">The fact is that when we go\u00a0through difficult moments, usually we can&#8217;t see God&#8217;s action in the events. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">We lack the strength to pray and see beyond our hurt feelings; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">so it&#8217;s hard to believe that miracles can happen. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">The numerous questions have the same root, hopelessness, lack of faith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>God expects a chance to change your life<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">At this time, perhaps you&#8217;ve wondered if it is worth it to continue or you ask yourself what is the meaning of life and if there is still a hope. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">The answer, however, is not the result of\u00a0an internet search, for example, it&#8217;s inside of you and it has a name: God! <\/span><span lang=\"en\">He still believes in you! <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Yes, God didn&#8217;t give up of you and remains at your side waiting for a chance to change your life. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">He believes in your\u00a0potential, the capacity to love, to overcome, go one step further in the direction of dreams that He has planted in your heart from the very first moment of your\u00a0existence. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">God dreams about you and wants your happiness. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">&#8220;I know very well of the plans\u00a0that I have for you, Oracle of the Lord! <\/span><span lang=\"en\">It is a project of happiness, not misery: it gives you a future, a hope. &#8221; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">(Jer 29.11)<\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"en\">Therefore, even if today you are without hope, raise your head, look at the sky and think of God as a kind and loving Father who is now at your\u00a0side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">And since God believes in you, you believe in you, and let yourself be led by the force for good in your soul. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">In the process of new life, try not to blame anyone. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Remember that we are a free people and what happens to us is the result of our choices. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Don&#8217;t fall into the temptation of blaming people and choosing to be\u00a0a victim, that just stands in the way of new project\u00a0that God wants to give you. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Search and rebuild your story from the truth because when you reach out, you make a big discovery: realize that you are\u00a0capable of love and you begin to love concretely even in pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">I know it&#8217;s not easy to change your\u00a0way of thinking and acting, but it&#8217;s important to remember what is possible with the grace of God. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Don&#8217;t give up! <\/span><span lang=\"en\">You can have hope that your future will be better, because God believes in you!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<div id=\"mep_0\" class=\"mejs-container svg wp-audio-shortcode mejs-audio\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<footer id=\"autor_info\" class=\"entry-utility\">\n<figure class=\"entry-thumb\"><a class=\"entry_author_image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsofttranslator.com\/bv.aspx?from=&amp;to=en&amp;a=http%3A%2F%2Fformacao.cancaonova.com%2Fauthor%2Fdijanira%2F\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.cancaonova.com\/cnimages\/canais\/authors\/54_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"entry-bloco\">\n<h2 class=\"entry-title\">Dijanira Silva<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">Dijanira Silva, missionary of the Can\u00e7\u00e3o Nova\u00a0Community, currently resides in S\u00e3o Paulo.
