It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your lifeโs story will develop.
Dieter F. UchtdorfHeavenly Father's interest in you does not depend on how rich or beautiful or healthy or smart you are. He sees you not as the world sees you; He sees who you really are. He looks on your heart. And He loves you because you are His child.
Dieter F. UchtdorfHope is one leg of a three-legged stool, together with faith and charity. These three stabilize our lives regardless of the rough or uneven surfaces we might encounter at the time... Hope in our Heavenly Father's merciful plan of happiness leads to peace, mercy, rejoicing, and gladness. The hope of salvation is like a protective helmet; it is the foundation of our faith and an anchor to our souls.
Dieter F. UchtdorfWe need to ask God for forgiveness and do all we can to correct whatever harm our actions may have caused. Repentance means a change of mind and heartโwe stop doing things that are wrong, and we start doing things that are right. It brings us a fresh attitude toward God, oneself, and life in general.
