I love watching Mormon Times on ksl.com
You can go here to watch full episodes.
They post a new episode every Sunday.
I watched an episode yesterday about hope.
Gerald Lund quoted President Deiter F Urchtdorf who said that
HOPE
is choosing to
TRUST
in the Lord's promises.
Some examples of the Lord's promised blessings that were mentioned are:
Forgiveness: Our mistakes need not condemn us
Protection
Premonition
Guidance
JOY
Happiness
Promise of Divine Revelation
Families can be Forever
Priesthood: has the power to HEAL, Bless, Instruct & Direct
and many more.
It's common for those struggling with depression
to have a hard time
feeling the Spirit.
In turn, it becomes easy to feel
like Heavenly Father isn't listening
to my prayers &
that you are all alone.
BUT,
like Gerald Lund said,
"The more we FOCUS on those
promises
the more HOPE we have
& out of that comes that STRENGTH,
that FAITH that 'I can endure this,'
AND if I DO,
then my promises are sure."
