Hope

"There may be times when we must make a courageous decision to hope even when everything around us contradicts this hope. . . . Or, as one writer expressed, 'in the depth of winter, [we find] within [us] an invincible summer.'" Dieter Uchtdorf, Oct. 2008.

"These are trying days, in which Satan rages, at home and abroad, hard days, evil and ugly days. We stand helpless as it seems before them. We need help. We need strength. We need guidance. Perhaps if we would do our work in behalf of those of the unseen world who hunger and pray for the work we can do for them, the unseen world would in return give us help in this day of our urgent need." John A. Widtsoe, Apr. 1943.
