"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you." - Mark 17:20
"Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?" - John 11:40
No situation in life is hopeless. Despair and hope are emotional attitudes created by your thoughts, by the way you look at things. They are not created by the circumstances of your life.
You only give up hope because you have yet to trust in the possibility of a change for the better. The truth is that you cannot rely on your judgment alone, on what your senses are telling you. Fear can distort your reality, and give you the illusion of doom and gloom. But you're the one who creates your own roadblocks, by clinging to the idea that you can do it all by yourself. You're the one who's been putting obstacles in your way.
In my book "The Magic of Willpower", I emphasise that faith is a gift - but it is accessible to everyone, even to the biggest sceptic. Just the fact that you're alive proves that you do have faith in certain things - for instance, that the sun will rise tomorrow morning, that you will wake up and go to work (if you don't forget to set your alarm!)
You cannot say that a thing is impossible, just because you haven't been able to accomplish it so far. Once you give up the need to explain everything and to justify yourself; once you give up the need to control other people and events, you will be ready to put your life in God's hands. From then on, nothing will be out of reach for you any more.
Allow yourself to be guided by God's will instead of your own and you will see how order will replace your internal chaos. Peace of mind will replace your distorted outlook. Love will replace all the fears you had.
With God all things are possible, and you'll see that something good is going to happen to you very soon!
With love,
Bella
