How can I have faith when the world seems so scary?
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares some of his thoughts on this subject.
-
Always have faith, first of all, in our Heavenly Father and in His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
-
Just move forward regardless of the world. As you read the scriptures, you will know what you should do.
-
In every age we are faced with a choice. We can trust in our own strength, or we can journey to higher ground and come unto Christ.
-
Keep busy in doing the right things. Peace and hope come from knowing the Lord and our Heavenly Father and following Their way of living.
-
Sometimes the world appears dark. Sometimes our faith is tried. Yet we should not despair. We should never abandon our faith. We should not lose hope.
-
Be of good cheer. Have faith and confidence. The Lord will not forsake you.
