The things we hope in sustain us during our daily walk. They uphold us through trials, temptations, and sorrow. Everyone has experienced discouragement and difficulty. Indeed, there are times when the darkness may seem unbearable. It is in these times that the divine principles of the restored gospel we hope in can uphold us and carry us until, once again, we walk in the light.

Dieter F. UchtdorfWe shouldn't wait to be happy until we reach some future point, only to discover that happiness was already available all the time!

Dieter F. UchtdorfโฆHold on a little longerโeven when things look bleak. Know and remember this: the Lord loves you. He remembers you. And He will ever sustain those who โendure in faith to the endโ (D&C 20:25).
Dieter F. UchtdorfTo all who suffer- to all who feel discouraged, worried, or lonely- I say with love and deep concern for you, never give in. Never surrender. Never allow despair to overcome your spirit. Embrace and rely upon the Hope of Israel, for the love of the Son of God pierces all darkness, softens all sorrow, and gladdens every heart.
