Monson I read “The Infinite Power of Hope” by Dieter F. Uchtdorf. As a mother, the story he told of his mother broke my heart!

He said “Despair drains from us all that is vibrant and joyful and leaves behind the empty remnants of what life was meant to be. Despair kills ambition, advances sickness, pollutes the soul, and deadens the heart. Despair can seem like a staircase that leads only and forever downward.” Only hope can break through this darkness. Hope is not knowing that something will be, but the trust in faith in the Lord and His willingness to keep the promises made to us if we will keep our promises. “Never surrender. Never allow despair to overcome your spirit” 1 Nephi 5:1–8 These verses exemplify how a combination of faith, family, and preserving spiritual knowledge can play a pivotal role in our own spiritual journeys. Lehi acknowledged the importance of preserving sacred writings and sent his sons back on a challenging and dangerous journey to retrieve them. This is an amazing example of the importance of strong family unity and support in overcoming obstacles and fulfilling divine purpose. Sariah reminded me of the importance of trusting in God to navigate us through difficult situations and leaning on our faith in God, that He knows our path and will not ask of us more than we can do. 2 Nephi 26:29–31 As I read the thought that came to my mind was how the wisdom and mercy that God has is far greater than ours.

God invites all to come unto Him, regardless of their circumstances or background.
