"Hope is the anchor of our souls. I know of no one who's not in need of hope — young or old, strong or weak, rich or poor."
Our greatest hope comes from the knowledge that Jesus Christ broke the bands of death. His victory came through excruciating pain, suffering and agony.
There are tremendous sources of hope beyond our own ability, learning, strength and capacity. Among them is the gift of the Holy Ghost.
"Peace in this life is based on faith and testimony. We can all find hope from our personal prayers and gain comfort from the scriptures. Spiritual blessings lift us and sustain us. Hope also comes from direct personal revelation, to which we are entitled if we are worthy."
Everyone in life has challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test.
"The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope, because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope."
"In my opinion, there has never been in the history of this church a reason for so much hope for the future of the church and its members worldwide. I believe and testify that we are moving to a higher level of faith and activity than there has ever been. I pray that each of us will be found holding up our end of the line in this great army of righteousness."
