There are times when you simply have to righteously hang on and outlast the devil until his depressive spirit leaves you. As the Lord told the Prophet Joseph Smith: “Thine adversity and thine afflictions, shall be but a small moment;
“And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high.” (Doc & Cov 121:7-8.) – Ezra Taft Benson, “Do Not Despair,” Ensign (CR) November 1974
