2 Undeniable Truths That Will Bring Us Joy During Bitter Trials

Abstract

Life can be so unexpectedly difficult at times. Yet, because of this, we must choose to become better not bitter.

We may find ourselves perplexed and bewildered by the challenges, difficulties, and suffering that encompass us. Sometimes, we may feel to ask as Joseph Smith and Habakkuk of old asked, “O God, where art thou?” (D&C 121:1; see also Habakkuk 1:2-4). Even Jesus Christ cried out from the depths of his humiliating suffering, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).
