[the key to happiness]

[do you need hope?]

I prepared a lesson about hope and used this talk from President Uchtdorf for it:

The Infinite Power of Hope by Dieter F. Uchtdor

Hope has the power to fill our lives with happiness.

Hope is a gift of the Spirit.

Hope is not knowledge, but rather the abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promise to us.

With hope comes joy and happiness. With hope, we can “have patience, and bear … our afflictions.”

No matter how bleak the chapter of our lives may look today, because of the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we may hope and be assured that the ending of the book of our lives will exceed our grandest expectations.

In times of distress, we can hold tightly to the hope that things will “work together for our good”

Hope comes of faith, for without faith, there is no hope.

Hope teaches that there is reason to rejoice even when all seems dark around us.

And to all who suffer—to all who feel discouraged, worried, or lonely—I say with love and deep concern for you, never give in.

Never surrender.

Never allow despair to overcome your spirit.

Embrace and rely upon the Hope of Israel, for the love of the Son of God pierces all darkness, softens all sorrow, and gladdens every heart.

I made this handout for my Sunday School class. Sometimes it's nice to learn in detail who's who in the scriptures. The New Testament stories will become more dear to us as we get to know the people better.
