As I sit here in a coffee shop I cannot help, but ponder on the fact that so many of us (myself included) work at a job that is mundane and not fulfilling in any way shape or form, waking up each day to do the same thing over and over again. Why is it that here in North America we have it all and yet people walk around with miserable faces and heavy baggage (and not the literal kind). When I was in South America most of the people there were smiling and content with their lives and that is the way it should be.
God does not want us to be unhappy, he doesn't call us just to hang up. He is forever present in your life and usually waiting on you to just pick up the phone. Every single day of your life that you wake up IS a chance to begin again. There is no perfect thing you have to do to please him because in his eyes you are already perfect and no mistake to big for him to not forgive you. Don't let the self destructing thoughts that run around your mind control your life any longer! They have no place and they will not do any good. All God wants is for you to give him your baggage and pick up the phone. it is simple, really... no qualifications needed all he really needs is you to just answer.
