"Maintaining Discipleship in Tough Times"

I was having a rough day yesterday and everything that I read or watched just happened to address overcoming adversity and it really was Heavenly Father's way of lifting my spirits.

Elder Holland said, "It is easy to be righteous when things are calm and good but the test is when there is real trial or temptation, when there is pressure and fatigue, anger and fear, or the possibility of real transgression. Can we be faithful then? That is the question."

A popular motivational speaker, Brad Wilcox, says in the following interview (link at the bottom) with KSL news that we can use protection, prayer and promises to help us remain faithful during the test. 

If you have personal rules...Keep them.
If you don't feel like praying because you feel abandoned...Pray anyways.


Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us so much that they will help us overcome all things. 


Here is the full talk given by Elder Holland.
