17. Elder Holland's “Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence”

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine posted this quote on FaceBook:

"If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. Certainly don’t give in to that being who is bent on the destruction of your happiness. Face your doubts. Master your fears. “Cast not away therefore your confidence.” Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you." ~ Elder Holland

This quote is perfect. Sometimes I feel like when we make decisions in our lives, or when we finally get the conformation about anything that we've been waiting for, everything feels great. But then Satan comes and does everything in his power to make us doubt what we had just felt so great about. He will do everything he can to deter us. But sticking through it is what counts. We have to endure to the end and do everything that we can. This quote goes along perfectly with Elder Utchdorf's "doubt your doubts before you doubt you faith" quote. Heavenly Father is all powerful and He will not lead us astray. Though hard at times, when we stick to what we know He want's us to do, it will always be worth it in the end.
