: My faith and my trust and my hope is in God, that we can carry out the project to generate thousands of jobs, because here in Neiva there are about 10,000 unemployed families. I ask God to give me his hand to help these families so that they have sustenance for their children and their elderly parents. Amen.

May God bless your noble purpose and guide you in this work of love. Amen!

: This devotional emphasizes something that Christians seem to have not understood: Praying according to the Word of God and His promises. A current example: evil in the world has increased; and we pray asking God for this world to change. How will this world change if those of us who call ourselves Christians are not evangelizing? We have not understood that the main objective of the Church is to present the Word of God as the only way to transform human lives separated from the presence of God.

It is essential to remember that prayer based on the Word of God and His promises is powerful and effective, as Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional teaches us. The importance of evangelizing and presenting the Word of God as the path to transformation is crucial to impact the world around us. By uniting prayer based on the Word with evangelizing action, as you mention, we can be agents of change and light in the midst of darkness and evil. May your call to reflection and action inspire others to live according to God's will and to share His transforming message. May God guide and strengthen you in this important work!
