The Adventure of Mortality: Dieter F. Uchtdorf

This is worth a watch, a second watch or even third. Harriet starts speaking at minute 17 and Dieter at minute 28, if you want to skip the intros. 

Five Things to Remember

First, know that God’s answers to your most profound questions may take a little time and they may come in ways you hadn’t expected. God’s answers are of eternal value. They are worth the wait.

Second, have a little faith. Incline your hearts to God. Believe that you are important to God, and trust He will make more of you than you can possibly make of yourself. Learn of Him. Love Him. Believe Him. Speak with Him regularly, intensely. Listen for His voice.

Third, walk as best as you can on the path of discipleship. Don’t get overwhelmed. Just do the small things as perfectly as you can, and the big things will fall in place.

Fourth, don’t let discouraging voices dissuade you from your journey of faith. Remember, you don’t answer to your critics*. You answer to your Father in Heaven. His values count.  *whether they be in or out of your religion 

Fifth, make the best decisions you can by following the promptings that come to your heart and mind. Give your best efforts to follow through. Have faith, and God will consecrate your honest efforts for your eternal good.¹⁶

Do this and, in the end, all will be well.
