Overcoming Adversit‪y‬ BYU Speeches

Much of our happiness depends not on what we have, but on our gratitude for it. Contentment is not complacency. It is a gift that brings lasting joy.

We can develop a closer relationship with God by improving our prayers. All we must do is come before Him with a broken heart and contrite spirit.

When tragedy strikes, turn to God in faith—and to the people He has placed in your life. Through trust, service, and love, you will find lasting peace.

Although suffering tribulation is a necessary part of life, it does not lessen God's love for us. In fact, trials are an opportunity to grow and learn.

As trials and challenges come, we'll be tempted to view our glass as half empty. However, focusing on the gospel can help us see life half full.

While the future is scary and unknown to us, God knows exactly how things will work out. Overcoming adversity is possible when we have faith in His timing.
