A Word of Encouragement from President Hinckley

Awhile ago, I saw a quote hanging in the baptism room/activity day room/nursery room/ seminary room at church. The room is usually decorated with wonderful items from our ward's awesome seminary teacher. When I read the quote, I asked the instructor if I could borrow it to make a copy- and she actually gave me the sheet of paper containing the quote. I love it! Recently I've been working on organizing paper and files and I rediscovered the magnificent quote.

As the last few weeks have been rather challenging, as I've been dealing with several major stressors, mostly self-induced, and I've truly appreciated this quote and have referred to it frequently.
I hope this quote will be of help and comfort to any who see this page:

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we put our trust in Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." ~ President Gordon B. Hinckley

President Hinckley's words in that quote gives me hope and confidence that hopefully somehow, someway, things will get better and that they work out and that yes, Heavenly Father is aware of me and loves all of us and will help us in our lives.
