“When times are difficult, we can make the choice to turn away from [the Savior] and struggle through our afflictions alone, or we can make the choice to turn to Him and the Father’s plan, finding that we will ‘suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ’ [Alma 31:38].”¹

—Linda K. Burton, former Relief Society General President
