Answers from an Apostle

What Should I Do When I Feel Discouraged?

By Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Adapted from “Waiting on the Lord,” Liahona, Nov. 2020, 115–117; and “An High Priest of Good Things to Come,” Ensign, Nov. 1999, 36–38.

Pray. Remember that prayers are heard and answered, even if it takes time.

Hold on. Don’t give up. Keep trying. God loves you, and blessings will come.

Keep the commandments. Keep on doing what you know is right.

Trust. Faith means trusting God in good times and bad.
