: I carefully read
each of the topics listed. I
loved learning that hope is a confident expectation
and is not uncertain. When we have hope, we can endure today because of our assurances of tomorrow.

I read "The Infinite Power of Hope" by Dieter F. Uchtdorf and was deeply moved by the story he shared about his mother. It's hard to imagine the fear she must have experienced in those moments. Uchtdorf explains how despair has the power to drain us of all that is vibrant and joyful, leaving us with only the empty remnants of what life should be. It kills ambition, advances sickness, pollutes the soul, and deadens the heart. Despair can feel like a never-ending staircase leading us only downward. The only way to break through this darkness is through hope.
Hope is not simply knowing that something will happen, but rather, it's having trust in the Lord and His promises, and having faith that He will keep them if we keep ours. Uchtdorf encourages us to never surrender, and to never allow despair to take over
our spirit.
1 Nephi 5:1–8
Even when doubts arise or confusion sets in, trust in the Lord. Strengthen your heart to believe that this is the path, and pray to God for guidance throughout the wilderness.
2 Nephi 26:29–31
While reading, I couldn't help but contemplate on how God's wisdom and mercy surpasses ours by far. It's crucial for us to remain humble and acknowledge that we don't have all the answers, and that God expects us to seek His guidance. Regardless of one's background or situation, God welcomes everyone to come to Him.
With a vast plan and an all-encompassing love, God inspires my journey with humility, trust, an open heart, and the awareness that His love and guidance are accessible to anyone who wholeheartedly seeks Him.
2 Nephi 31:19–20
By having faith in Christ, nurturing hope and love for God, persisting in our efforts, and regularly engaging with the teachings of Christ, we can remain steadfast until
the end.
Mosiah 4
By having faith in Jesus Christ and genuinely repenting, we can
experience profound joy, obtain forgiveness for our
sins, and enjoy peace of mind. If we keep in mind the greatness of God, remain humble, pray regularly, and remain true
in our faith, we can feel God's love, continue to be
free of our sins, and expand our knowledge.
Alma 32
Alma elucidates the concept of faith in Christ to those who lack belief or trust in Him. He employs analogies, such as that of a seed that flourishes beautifully when nurtured properly.
Ether 12
By putting their faith in Christ's will, those who are blessed by God's grace will be filled with hope and love. This will give them the power to do great things, even miracles. To gain eternal life, we must have hope and love, which can be achieved by having faith in our Savior.
Moroni 7

Moroni 10:20–24
The presence of faith signifies hope, and where there is hope, charity must also exist. Without these three virtues, no one can enter the kingdom of God.
