"As part of our mortal probation, we pass through affliction, pain and disappointment. Only in Jesus Christ can we find peace. He can help us to be of good cheer and to overcome all the challenges of this life."
Being of good cheer "means to have hope, not getting discouraged, not losing faith, and living life joyfully."
"We live in a glorious time, a time when the Lord restored his priesthood. The true gospel has been restored. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Kingdom of God on Earth. We are helping to prepare the Earth for the time when the Lord Jesus Christ will come and personally reign."
"The Lord makes no secret that he will test our faith and our obedience. . . . When we are being tried, we should ponder and ask, 'What does the Lord want me to do in this situation?' "
"Sometimes we might think that the Lord does not hear or answer our prayers. At such times, we need to stop and ponder what we have done throughout our lives. If necessary, we must put our lives in harmony with the gospel of Jesus Christ. . . . When we have the sincere desire to put our lives in harmony with the will of the Lord, he will always be ready to help ease our burdens."
"If we daily exercise faith, meekness, charity and lowliness in heart, confessing that Jesus is the Christ and accepting his Atonement, we will be blessed with the strength and hope to face and overcome the trials and pains of this life."
