“So it can be for us as we allow the stirrings of hope to motivate us to action; and then as we act so that our hope becomes faith, that faith gives us power and enthusiasm for the principles of the gospel, which leads us to further action. Soon, we are lifted out of the state of hopelessness, and we begin to aid those around us by working to make the world a better place, rather than languishing in misery watching the world go by without us.” WorldGivingStatesActionPrinciplesMiseryAidsEnthusiasmBetter PlaceHopelessnessStirring Author:David S.

“It is a great tragedy when those who are afflicted with adversity or a source of hopelessness turn their backs on prayer. To their peril, they ignore that spiritual lifeline just at the time when their attention to it most needs to be intensified. By so doing they cut themselves of from revelation and inspiration and deprive themselves of hearing the Lord's voice. They give up the prospect of gaining the very hope and comfort for which their hearts yearn.” NeedsGivingHeartInspirationSpiritualTurnsVoicePrayerAttentionLordCuttingSourceComfortGiving UpTragedyAdversityHearingRevelationsSpiritual LifeHopelessnessPerilGreat TragedyLifelines Author:David S.
