"I have just two things to say to you who are troubled about the future. I say them lovingly and from my heart. First, we must never let fear and the father of fear (Satan himself) divert us from our faith and faithful living. Every person in every era has had to walk by faith into what has always been some uncertainty. This is the plan. Just be faithful. God is in charge. He knows your name and He knows your need.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ—that is the first principle of the gospel. We must go forward. God expects you to have enough faith, determination, and trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. He expects you not simply to face the future; He expects you to embrace and shape the future—to love it, rejoice in it, and delight in your opportunities.
God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can’t if you don’t pray, and He can’t if you don’t dream. In short, He can’t if you don’t believe."
--Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Oh man..I needed this quote today. Thanks for sharing again!
Looks like I'm not the only one who needed it today. I'm sitting on my floor, with my feet close to my space heater, crying my guts out over how little faith I have. That quote is the kick I need today to start making my future brighter. Thanks, darling!
Loved this post, and this quote. Do you know when and whereElder Holland said that quote? Seriously might be my new quote to live by. Thanks for sharing Danica.
I wish I you could see the tears my dear friend. They are such good happy ones. This post was an absolute answer to my prayers! Thank you for being willing to share it! Hugs.
