We all have challenges. The variable is our reaction to the hard.

At one point, some Book of Mormon people suffered “great persecutions” and “much affliction” (Helaman 3:34). How did they react? “They did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation” (Helaman 3:35). – Stanley G. Ellis, “Do We Trust God? Hard is Good,” Ensign (CR) November 2017
