In his address to the priesthood last General Conference, President Monson shared three ways that we can successfully navigate the pathway of this life - study diligently, pray fervently, and live righteously. He then concluded his talk with this counsel:
"Let us never despair, for the work in which we are engaged is the work of the Lord. It has been said, 'The Lord shapes the back to bear the burden placed upon it.'
"The strength which we earnestly seek in order to meet the challenges of a complex and changing world can be ours when, with fortitude and resolute courage, we stand and declare with Joshua, 'As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.'"
Discouragement is one of the great tools used by Satan to make us believe that we cannot return to live with our Father in Heaven. I hope that we will listen instead to the counsel of our leaders, and draw on the strength that the Lord offers us through righteous living to overcome the world in these last days.
