If I’m still alive, it can’t be too late. The biggest proof that He, the Ribbono shel Olam, hasn’t given up on me is that I woke up this morning. It means he believes that there’s work for me to do. There’s a purpose for me.
I can still forgive. Forgive myself for all the disappointments, for the mistakes in my marriage, with others, the way I’ve been.
So help me, Ribbono shel Olam, realize that it might be late, but it’s not too late.
If He trusts in me, that helps me trust in me.
Help me, Ribbono shel Olam, to change the only person I was put in this world to change.

I was having a hard day. I felt like giving up, with my thoughts wandering to unwanted suicidal places. Then, I checked my emails and found this Emunah Daily post. I started crying as I was reading it. It was just what I needed to hear. This was “the proof” I was seeking. Thank you for your tremendous chizzuk!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Always remember that you are here for a reason. The Lubavitcher Rebbe always made a huge deal over people’s birthdays because he said that the day you were born, Hashem determined that the world couldn’t exist another day without you. Each of us is so special, we just have to realize that. You’re amazing! You actually give me so much chizzuk! I can’t wait to read more comments from you in the future.
Wow, that is powerful. Thank you!
