I plead with you--never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.
Prayer can truly change your life. For it turns your attention away from yourself and directs your mind and your heart toward the Lord. If we look only at ourselves, with our own limitations and sins, we quickly give way to sadness and discouragement.
