Yesterday I get rejected from a job offer and I felt very bad, I felt like a loser and my thoughts were of disappointment and sadness. Today I get this notification of a new video from Hope Works at Home and it is just what I needed to hear. I know that when we trust in God everything is going to be ok in the future, now I feel peace in my mind and soul. He truly has all the power and knowledge he knows what is the best for us and he knows that through failure we can learn and find progress. Thanks for this video!
I was let go from my company and struggling to find a job for about a month. Jobs that I did apply for pushed me away and I did not understand why I kept on failing even with the required experience and education to qualify for those jobs. After almost a month one job that I didn’t apply for call me and offered me a position right away. The hardest part was being patient and not giving up on what God had planned for you even though you may not see it. So I would encourage you to keep trying, have faith, and pray, because nothing else works more than speaking to God about what you want him to accomplish in your life. But be vulnerable to God when praying as you are showing that you truly need him and that you are not above him. One other lesson is to never be to proud when you achieve a certain level of comfort or wealth as he can also take it away in a split second. Always be grateful and thank him for the good and the bad. Be positive brother, he is truly amazing.
This was my MTC teacher and was an amazing person and he is such a good example. I'm glad he was able to share his experience so everyone in the church can see it!
I remember seeing Hollis all over campus putting in so much work into his campaign. I was honestly a little angry when the election came down to essentially a tie because it didn't seem fair to say one side was the winner. Thank you Hollis for teaching us what you learned from the experience!
I was working for the events team at this same university the year Hollis was running for president. My teammates and I knew him well for his active participation in the student association and for being a great peer mentor at one of the events we planned (he actually was my sister's peer mentor her freshman year). We were all devestated when we heard that Hollis had lost, and even more so when we found out by how little. Despite losing, Hollis still showed up and showed out for his university. He found other ways to serve others and make a difference in the campus community. He is such a great example of how we can turn a really upsetting or negative experince into something incredible and even life-changing. Thank you, Hollis!
Lost a 3 year hard-fought, hard-earned promotion last week by three votes that would have been life changing for my family and me. In place of it, though, I feel I won three votes in Heaven for some life-changing future I don't know, because I didn't sacrifice my faith or family duties to try and beat my competition. The loss still really hurts, but there is a deeper peace now because of it.
“I don’t understand all my failures, but what I do understand is that I can choose to learn from them” I love this!! ❤️ and that when we fail we truly see how much we need to depend on Him.
I know this sounds weird, but I can see why God allowed you to fail so that you could lift up others that have failed and remind them being happy is a choice.
@@motelr my baby passed away at two days old. It absolutely did not go my way, but I remember during that happening, I knew Jesus Christ had a plan for him. There are so many reasons why things happen, and so many consequences. I don’t think my baby died so I could lift others up and have compassion for them, but I do think that was a consequence. Babies die, but there is an eternal plan for them. They’re ok.
" Why does this have to happen to me right now? " 💙💙💙 Haven't we all been there? Thank you for sharing your story & testimony. God bless you young man. 🙏
Thank you for sharing! As many others have felt peace I did too. I needed it today. I am trying so hard do what God wants me to do without causing my mom to have negative impression on Jesus Christ and the church. As I still hear her negative comments with her attitude everytime it hurts and feel like I failed. But like you said , there's so much to learn from there. By relying on God every time it helps me to open my heart to understand my mom more and do things more like the Savior would. Turning to God every time certainly brings comfort, and enough light to help us see the benefit of a trial and to know what is the next step we can take.
This is what I call a Face-Plant Moment. I'm in the arena, fighting for my life, and I Face-Plant. Ugh. My Face-Plants have been the most painful, growth-inducing, and humbling experiences. Sometimes I just lay there, with my face in the dirt, bloody and bruised, exhausted, humiliated, with dirt in my mouth, and I have to fight those feelings of failure and unworthiness. But, God's tender love and mercy blankets me, and I can get back up. It's thru remembering who I really am, a daughter of God, that helps me get back up.
I can testify why The Book of Mormon is true and a gift from God because I feel The Spirit reading it and being a new member through baptism it changed my life forever because comparable to The Bible I see the Light of God reading it and applying it to me life so seeing now how The Book of Mormon is real and powerful and important it serves as a guide in my life God has used to minister to my heart through difficulty
As we go through times like these and it seems like we're failing, we'll learn in time that this was merely a preparation state and what we wanted was not actually meant for us. This is Heavenly Father preparing us for something greater. If we got what we wanted we wouldn't be blessed with what was truly ours. Those blessings to come are so much greater if we just wait to see the next phase unfold.
Thank you for your inspiring story,this is just what I needed at this moment,I feel AMAZING just finished watching your beautiful TESTIMONY, keep it up and stay BLESSED 🙏
Heavenly Father can strengthen us even through disappointment, frustration and sadness. All we have to do is turn to him. Our lives are not dependant on our efforts alone.
Life has been very disaponting for me, never being anything I planned for! I'm married to a priesthood holder, I have four kid's, and we have never marital issues,we have been faithful to our covenants , but two of my kid's have left the righteous path,it has been so stressful, that it has affected my health! I came from a family that had it's share of issues, as I got older I have held tightly to the gospel, trying to do everything right, but I had church leaders be bad examples to my kid's, them never knowing there name's or taking the time to care for them. Church friends leading them astray, as I have tried to do things right, people around me have failed my kid's and all those in that age group have left the church! Life is harder than I could of ever imagined! 🙏🏻🥰God help us all!
I really appreciate this story. I feel like stories are usually about big life altering tradgedies like divorce, major illnesses/accidents, addiction. Those are super important to talk about, & we can all learn from them, though I felt like I could relate more with this one. This is definitely something any person experiences on a regular basis. Thank you! We need all kinds of stories, even the "simpler" ones.
Amazing testimony just what I needed to hear being a new member as of Sunday gone over the past weekend I really needed this testimony to strengthen me in my resilience and faith anything is possible despite failure the best is yet to come for me which I only realized this past weekend and yesterday. Thank you
Congratulations! I just skimmed over some of your comments and I am glad for your success. Although I was born into the Church (Rey L. Pratt is my paternal great-grandfather), my experience is conversion is a step everyone has to make, including me. I pray you will establish the roots in the Gospel you desire. I do ask, though, that you might pray for me in return. My faith has been very sorely tested lately, and I feel like my ward doesn't care about me very much. Thanks in advance.
@@jaklumen thank you so much. I will be praying for you God loves you so much and I know he will send someone to you where you are to confirm His love to you because he wants you to be happy and strong and I feel God will comfort you using an angel appearing to you to tell you He has a great plan for you to provide a way for you. Thank you again please pray for me to be to enter the Temple for the first time in person abroad as I go to study soon to get my degrees in ministry. I appreciate you reaching out and if you ever need a friend I am here for you
@@sadeedwards3017 My departed family and friends are doing their best. There is a very ugly history of narcissistic abuse in my family, that stretch back a few generations. It is hidden and not really discussed, but there are some dark tales of great-grandma Mary Stark Pratt (oh yes, Rey's wife). My maternal grandfather and my paternal grandparents are sad sometimes because of this problem. Again, they and others help me as much as they are able, despite death being a thing (yes, they are dead). The temple is a lovely place.. quarantine measures sure make it difficult, however. I will indeed pray that you will be able to enter the House of the Lord soon.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ♥️ God bless you! You will have an amazing life with God there to strengthen you, help you, and guide your path! 😁
I like how sincere and honest you are. I do not hear people that boast and are puffed up. The 3 votes WILL propel you forward. When we turn to God in our failures we realize that we need Him. Failure is not trying and we learn from the process of achieving something, not from the result itself. You are awesome!
I feel this on a deep level. Me and my husband have been struggling to conceive and it’s been a struggle because we’re constantly told that we should grow our eternal family, but then it often feels impossible to follow that commandment. It’s hard to stay hopeful for things that seem so far out of reach, but we need to continue to depend on God to take us further with our blessings in a bigger way than we could imagine. Thank you for sharing this message with everyone ❤️
I have been putting off watching this video because I thought it wasn't something I needed to hear. I was SO wrong. Thank you. Thank you to. God for you.
The realization and lesson of humility and gratitude learned from this experience have far more value than winning the election itself! Sometimes losing can also be a means to gaining something else of greater worth. Thank you for this relevant video!
I have missed hope works stories, I am happy to see a new story. This was a beautiful presentation. It has answered a question for a current personal challenge, and has given me a more accepting perspective. Thank you for the much appreciated insight ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story. Your strength to fall and getting up made you stronger because you turned to God. Thank you for being humble enough to understand that and share with us!
Always love hearing the stories of others. It really helps to know that other people have shared similar experiences, thoughts and questions, not only because it helps me to know I'm not alone, but also to know that these moments don't have to control me. Learning to use the good and the bad to move us forward truly is a sign of true growth.
wow just wow 👏🏾 grateful for his testimony in God. I love love love how he emphasizes the importance of turning to God in our failures. For it will help us understand them and make sense of why they happen even when things are going so well. If there's anything I'm afraid of is failing. So I wouldn't try anything new or risk changing because I didn't want to fail. But just like he said True Failure is not trying at all. With that being said he helped me look at failure differently than I usually would. I'm grateful (I may not like it very much I might even hate it) but I'm grateful for the many times I've failed in Life. Because just like he said failures lead us to the one who can give us strength. And I know that my failures and ofc my chose to go to God during those times has molded me into a stronger person now more than I could ever imagine. May you reader remember to turn to God in your failures, for when you do you'll always be successful.
YES! I've learned (after MANY failures) that God wants me to: 1) Learn how to be more gracious when I'm not #1. 2) Learn how to comfort those who suffer loss. 3) Be more humble. 4) Turn to Him. 5) Learn to extend my ability to keep trying. 6) Find different approaches. 7) Be more patient with self and others...... I'm SURE there's more to the list, but I guess it SHOWS me the answer to my old question: Why couldn't I just GET all this when I was younger??? Because life is about OBTAINING wisdom, and repenting daily as we advance to further levels... KINDA LIKE... SCHOOL🎉🎊♥️
I find it ironic there’s currently 3 dislikes to this video. Haha. The same three people must have some serious beef with this guy. Just kidding. I really appreciate this message though. Thank you for sharing.
One might consider this experience in what has been gained. For example, reaching out to people in order to gain votes in reality may have gained friendships that will last much longer than any term of office might have lasted. The end results of the experience may be less relevant than all that is gained getting there. God knows the end from the beginning and delights in those experiences we gain in trying to reach whatever goal we seek.
Keep believing in GOD. No mattet what happens with you, GOD Knows every human being and what they go through. Everything is happening By Permissions and Orders of GOD. Never try to claim your pride or material over GOD'S Will, for GOD Knows but we don't.
It seems interesting that God seems to have great purposes for those who come in second in a number of things that I have seen. Maybe God’s purpose for them is not the same as the one at the top.
This is also an example of the consequences of placing things of the world - in this case, winning an election - above heavenly things - focusing one's life on a worldly aspiration. All that effort could have been devoted to a heavenly goal. Thus failure is also related to choosing world's goals above heavenly goals. We are all similarly challenged to choose properly.
Well if this is a large enough trial for this young man, I feel for him. However, compared to so many other issues that can beset an individual, this is nothing! My word! I'm sorry but this is so minuscule compared to so many trials one can go through in mortality. I can only presume this is made for young people that haven't really gone through extreme sorrow and difficulty. How about a Stake President in the Philippines that lost his home and entire family because of a tragic fire - now that is an excruciating trial that is almost unbearable. I'm sorry, but I've seen pain and the tragic circumstances people have to go through due to the reality of life itself - this is nothing!
Life is a journey. This time God might use you to serve the other one for mutual growing purpose toward eternal life. Why not thinking as the way Jesus teaches us rather than the opinion of competition as winner or loser isn’t it ? Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV) 13. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Hopefully you're okay because the rule inspector is going to find each detail and it's going to find the details of why are you playing with me and playing with the people that are absolutely lowering themself as the lowest for actions where they did not have an option to absolutely be something that's is also known that we have big land that most and of certain percentages are able to accomplish because of how big the land is we have to be very tight on why the rule inspector absolutely understands I remain so detailed of the highest importance and requiring my happiness

One might consider this experience in what has been gained. For example, reaching out to people in order to gain votes in reality may have gained friendships that will last much longer than any term of office might have lasted. The end results of the experience may be less relevant than all that is gained getting there. God knows the end from the beginning and delights in those experiences we gain in trying to reach whatever goal we seek.

Keep believing in GOD. No mattet what happens with you, GOD Knows every human being and what they go through. Everything is happening By Permissions and Orders of GOD. Never try to claim your pride or material over GOD'S Will, for GOD Knows but we don't.

Jesus is Lord and is One With God through the Holy Spirt.
When things don't go our way, wouldn't those count as trials?
It seems interesting that God seems to have great purposes for those who come in second in a number of things that I have seen. Maybe God’s purpose for them is not the same as the one at the top.

Nice video
This is also an example of the consequences of placing things of the world - in this case, winning an election - above heavenly things - focusing one's life on a worldly aspiration. All that effort could have been devoted to a heavenly goal. Thus failure is also related to choosing world's goals above heavenly goals. We are all similarly challenged to choose properly.

Well if this is a large enough trial for this young man, I feel for him. However, compared to so many other issues that can beset an individual, this is nothing! My word! I'm sorry but this is so minuscule compared to so many trials one can go through in mortality. I can only presume this is made for young people that haven't really gone through extreme sorrow and difficulty. How about a Stake President in the Philippines that lost his home and entire family because of a tragic fire - now that is an excruciating trial that is almost unbearable. I'm sorry, but I've seen pain and the tragic circumstances people have to go through due to the reality of life itself - this is nothing!
Life is a journey. This time God might use you to serve the other one for mutual growing purpose toward eternal life.
Why not thinking as the way Jesus teaches us rather than the opinion of competition as winner or loser
isn’t it ?
Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)
13. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Hopefully you're okay because the rule inspector is going to find each detail and it's going to find the details of why are you playing with me and playing with the people that are absolutely lowering themself as the lowest for actions where they did not have an option to absolutely be something that's is also known that we have big land that most and of certain percentages are able to accomplish because of how big the land is we have to be very tight on why the rule inspector absolutely understands I remain so detailed of the highest importance and requiring my happiness
If still constantly failing after 30 years and in your 50s, will you still be just as optomistic?
Your god helped you with your life but couldn't stop 570,000 dying from covid. Strange set of priorities
