As long as you have life and God, as long as you have Christ and your own intelligence, why should any situation be hopeless? It is because you don’t believe in yourself anymore, and you don’t really believe in God or in Jesus Christ. Actually, you don’t believe in life itself. Start believing and get strength, such as is promised you, from God, who is good. The statesman Mirabeau, whose clear thinking influenced the course of the French Revolution, once said, “Nothing is impossible to the man who can will.” I believe that. What is will? It is the determination, the commitment, that you will do something. “ Nothing is impossible to the man who can will.” To have strong will, it must be backed up by faith. So strengthen that will of yours by strengthening your faith. God is good. He is a tower of strength. And He listens to you. So instead of regarding an unsatisfactory situation as hopeless, face it with a will. Then you can change it.
