Have you gained weight?  Are you struggling with money?  Is
\n“lonely” your middle name?  Do you miss someone so bad you can taste it?
\n Are you ill or in pain?  Unemployed or struggling with work?  Don’t
\ngive up – no matter how hard it seems, life is worth living.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It
\nmay seem that things are only getting worse, but we honestly don’t know
\nGod’s plan for us.  We just aren’t aware of what the pain and hardship
\nare teaching us.  Rest assured, the ups and downs of life are indeed
\nlessons from God.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Think back about other times
\nin your life that were really hard.  That time in school, when you were
\nin love with someone, but they didn’t notice you.  That time when you
\ndidn’t think you’d make it through, but something or someone came along
\nand helped.  Was there a time when you thought everything was hopeless,
\nand then suddenly the tide turned and hope sprang again, and your life
\nwas renewed?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Instead of trying to solve all
\nyour own problems by yourself today, ask God to help you.  Give your
\nproblems to Him, and ask Him to show you the way.  Whatever you do,
\ndon’t give up or stop trying – that only makes things worse.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This time, like in the past, all will be OK.  God is there, with you, directing you every step of the way.<\/div>\n
