Don't give up.

There are often times when we feel far from Hashem and we don't feel that we can even approach Hashem, our job at those times is to take that darkness and turn it into a prayer to Hashem.

We say, "Hashem, I am so distant from you that I can't even daven to you, please make an opening for me."

This prayer will have tremendous strength, and help us very much.

Often when we force ourselves to make a small step in the right direction, Hashem helps us to move much further.  We learn from this that when something feels hopeless we don't have to contemplate whether or not we will succeed, we just have to take the next step.

If Noah had davened to Hashem to save the world, he might have actually saved the world, but he thought it was hopeless, so he didn't even try.  We have to try even when it feels hopeless.
