Our challenge to you is to listen to President Uchtdorf's talk, "The Infinite Power of Hope" in it's entirety, and learn for yourself how to live a hope filled life even in the midst of these trying times. (Click here if you'd rather read it). He also gave a beautiful talk last weekend called "The Hope of God's Light." If you want more inspiration click here to read or watch it.
"We learn to cultivate hope the same way we learn to
walk, one step at a time. As we study the scriptures, speak with our
Heavenly Father daily, [and] commit to keep the commandments of God we attain hope. We grow in
our ability to 'abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost,' as
we more perfectly live the gospel."
