Dear Sisters,
In the thirteenth article of faith it states, “We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things”. The Lord wants us to be filled with hope as it can point us to a brighter tomorrow and change the quality of our lives today. We have been sent to earth to be “tried and tested”. As we go through trials, hope has the power to fill our lives with happiness. If we are wondering if we’re equal to the tasks that are given us, we can turn to the Lord and he can deliver peace and hope. Hope is knowing that whatever comes, the Lord can whisper peace. We can strengthen our hope in Christ by striving to be more obedient to the commandments, studying the scriptures, and by strengthening our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We pray that as we begin a new year that it will be a priority to have a renewed hope in Jesus Christ.
With love,
The Relief Society Presidency
