  • This life is not always easy, nor was it meant to be; it is a time of testing and proving. At times when we may feel to say, Hope you know, I had a hard time, we can be assured that Jesus Christ is there and we are safe in His loving arms.

    When I'm in my deepest depression spells I play this message. It always makes me cry. not the tears of hopelessness and despair that tend to flow endlessly at these times, but quite, healing tears. I always feel at least a little better after watching this.

      I too have struggled with OCD and depression from age 4. But He meets us where we are and helps to carry our burdens. Every day is a little brighter. Thank you for sharing your brave message of faith!

      Hi Kayley, thanks for your comment. We're glad you found this video and felt comfort from the counsel shared. Seek help from our Heavenly Father in prayer, and if you continue to feel anxious and worried, please talk openly with a trusted friend or family member, Church leader or professional. Take care! ttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/mentalhealth

      I too struggle with anxiety and depression. Getting on medication, talking to friends and family, and my psychologist help me through. Heavenly Father and Jesus can indeed heal, but doctors can help too.

    I was blind and could not see. I eventually found rehabilitation services and could have surgery to restore my sight. But, I needed many times where transportation was necessary to go several hours distance for surgery. God sent an angel to me. Who without thought of inconvenience was willing to take the time and the expense to get me to those appointments. I want Bro Monson to know that I am one of many who received his birthday wish. I now have full vision thanks to an angel whom he sent.

It is true, help your brother! and I have since been able to help others as well, and feel so much better! I am so blessed to be Mormon, and hope that one day, my husband will be as well. , And May GOD strengthen your family as well.

    The Holy Spirit is powerful within my soul as I watch these videos. It testifies of the truthfulness of a living prophet on the earth today. The Spirit is also strong when I read the Book of Mormon, go to the temple, and attend Sacrament meeting each Sunday. There is not a better feeling on the earth.

    I love this one. It helped me out more than I can say a couple of times....I KNOW that Jesus is always there for us - all we have to do is reach out to Him. We are the ones that close that door - not Him. He is always there knocking = waiting for us to open up and let Him back in.

    This is a powerful message…… I found this today and am grateful for the message that it conveys. Life can be very hard and the lose of loved ones is difficult to cope with, especially the lose of a child. No matter the length of time passed the grief at times is hard to come to terms with. Knowing the Lord is always there for me and praying helps to make going forward a little easier. He is there for me, all I need do is ask for His help and guidance. I am not alone for He stands by my side and at times carries me along.

    in hard times when I've watched this w/others around I had to "excuse myself" to the bathroom, sit on the side of the bathtub, pick up a towel and quietly cry so hard I thought someone was about to kick the door down to check on me. when i couldn't cry anymore, I got on my knees and prayed like never before, and I felt His Healing hands reach down and hold me and comfort me until I my despair disappeared.
    I've don't really get any "Divine Inspiration" or answers for my problems; but I do get the strength to keep going and I felt better. That somehow my problems weren't so bad after all. still i just gotta say: "Lord, Hope ya know, I'm having a hard time!"

    The Lord Jesus Christ was the prime example of charity. All of his suffering was for us, and he was willing to help us no matter hard the trial he faced. We strive as Members of the Church of Latter Day Saints to follow in his example in all things. Though we are not perfect the Lord has paid our price of sin if we are willing to follow him and his teachings.

    This is a beautiful message. Not too long ago, when I was praying for help during a rough time in my life, I was reminded of the scripture times. All those times when God's children would turn to Him during hard times, then forget Him when times were good. I try to remind myself of that so I can make a better effort to tell the Lord, "Thank you so much" as well as ... "Ya know, I'm having a really hard time!". God bless to you all...
