Hope

by Elder Steven E. Snow (priesthood session)

Hope is the feeling that events will turn out for the best. We look forward with desire and reasonable confidence.

Hope alone does not mean our children will grow in righteousness. We must spend time with them in FHE and worthwhile family activities. We must teach them to pray. We must read with them in the scriptures and teach them important gospel principles.

We should never let hope be displaced by despair.

Elder Russell M. Nelson has taught that "faith is rooted in Jesus Christ. Hope centers in the Atonement. Charity is manifest in the 'pure love of Christ'.

The spiritual journeys of today require no less hope or faith than those of the early pioneers. Our challenges may be different, but the struggles are just as great.
