[@zujowalls08]

im a convert to the church. i have a testimony that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a true and restored church. i love the gospel so much and im forever thankful for it!

[@laurensul8478]

When I'm in my deepest depression spells I play this message. It always makes me cry. not the tears of hopelessness and despair that tend to flow endlessly at these times, but quite, healing tears. I always feel at least a little better after watching this.

[@terraalbritton6405]

I too have struggled with OCD and depression from age 4. But He meets us where we are and helps to carry our burdens. Every day is a little brighter. Thank you for sharing your brave message of faith!

[@terraalbritton6405]

@Michael Antonio Re If you often feel abandoned, could it be time to change medication? I have to change mine every few years. Take care. You are loved!

[@ShineMusiclife_channel]

[@copefarms]

I'm not a morman but WOW what a great message :) Thanks so much.

[@DrTerminus]

This message is what I simply love about Mormons and Mormonism: they are always reaching out to help others less fortunate. I have been the beneficiary of their kindness and charity. They are true Christians!

[@mossrun]

I was blind and could not see. I eventually found rehabilitation services and could have surgery to restore my sight. But, I needed many times where transportation was necessary to go several hours distance for surgery. God sent an angel to me. Who without thought of inconvenience was willing to take the time and the expense to get me to those appointments. I want Bro Monson to know that I am one of many who received his birthday wish. I now have full vision thanks to an angel whom he sent.

[@laviniasousa1772]

So great!

[@georgerparker]

"Hope ya Know I had a hard time" is a plague on my wall in my kitchen. It reminds me that our Father always wants to hear the heartaches we have.

[@chloesivits6320]

[@kayleymurray1467]

this is one of the most inspiring message that I have heard I'm going through a hard time with my family as well as suffering from anxiety but I know that heavenly father will help me get through it all.

[@churchofjesuschrist]

Hi Kayley, thanks for your comment. We're glad you found this video and felt comfort from the counsel shared. Seek help from our Heavenly Father in prayer, and if you continue to feel anxious and worried, please talk openly with a trusted friend or family member, Church leader or professional. Take care! ttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/mentalhealth

[@terraalbritton6405]

I too struggle with anxiety and depression. Getting on medication, talking to friends and family, and my psychologist help me through. Heavenly Father and Jesus can indeed heal, but doctors can help too.

So many tears pored down my face as I watched this message. It truly is heartfelt. 🙏🏼💛

[@margietyrrell]

When my husband and I were going through our hard times, GOD was there. he helped us out through the very rough patches. It is true, help your brother! and I have since been able to help others as well, and feel so much better! I am so blessed to be Mormon, and hope that one day, my husband will be as well. , And May GOD strengthen your family as well.

[@laleinchampion2954]

Keep going my Brothers and Sisters in Christ out there❤️🌻🌸

[@DennisSchleicher1]

Julie Walter Amen! I agree 🙏🏻

[@kbm1978]

It is the truth & sometimes ppl are not ready for that but the message is real in so many lives around the globe. The message is a message of hope & that all is not lost 'Oh my father if this be possible let this cup pass by me' such magical words xxx

[@tallgiraffe197]

alisa cunnington me too

[@Yewnate]

I’ve been there where I would want to dislike a video like this. But I’ve overcome my struggles by putting god first and I have never been happier because of it. ❤️🙏

[@omiolo]

"Brought tears to my eyes." me too!

[@politicalrachel]

I've had this saved on my favorites for quite a while. When things get really difficult and I get down, I watch this. For some reason, it speaks to me and helps me center back to my true self.

[@toille1746]

Amen a beautiful message thank you God and Jesus for showing me this❤️✝️👑🙏

[@melissawerner6309]

I felt my heart not just soften but melt into a lil puddle.

[@janbowcut7980]

Such words of wisdom and comfort as I pray those same words to Father at this time. Thank you Elder Cook. Your words transcend time.❤

[@RyokuKora]

The Lord Jesus Christ was the prime example of charity. All of his suffering was for us, and he was willing to help us no matter hard the trial he faced. We strive as Members of the Church of Latter Day Saints to follow in his example in all things. Though we are not perfect the Lord has paid our price of sin if we are willing to follow him and his teachings.

[@WesPeters]

Home destroyed by fire in 2007, laid off in 2008 and again in 2009. I have been helped much these past few years. Making the time to serve others, losing yourself in the service of the Lord, is the best balm to apply to a sorely tried soul.

[@leuluair]

Sooo comforting!! Church is indeed true! he LIVES!!

[@zdanella]

I am watching this at work and it brought me to tears. I don't care if my co-workers are watching me... I have set the goal to help others. I love my Savior, I really DO NOT KNOW where would I be without the gospel in my life... ♥

[@asksaxxon21]

who hasnt felt this? heavenly father do you know what happening cant you help? " i hope you know i've had a hard time" who hasnt felt the love heavenly father offers us through his son jesus christ? who has felt every single pain we have felt not just our sins but the time we bumped our head as a toddler the time we broke our arm as a teenager the time we lost a child as an adult. he know us and understand what we feel. and oh how i love him so! elder cook is truely inspired!

[@premalathaanthony8042]

Many of us will have defferent kinds of problems different types of stress, hardship mentally disturbed, but I know that our God and redeemer is there always to comfort us, He is there for me always in my prayers comfort me and on my back to move forward what ever struggles I go through the strength of Jesus Christ I move forward,in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

[@mrcle48]

The Holy Spirit is powerful within my soul as I watch these videos. It testifies of the truthfulness of a living prophet on the earth today. The Spirit is also strong when I read the Book of Mormon, go to the temple, and attend Sacrament meeting each Sunday. There is not a better feeling on the earth.

[@tlatpeace]

I love this one. It helped me out more than I can say a couple of times....I KNOW that Jesus is always there for us - all we have to do is reach out to Him. We are the ones that close that door - not Him. He is always there knocking = waiting for us to open up and let Him back in.

[@Mariah9110]

I saw this in seminary today but i didnt want to cry in class so i held it in. as i got home today i remembered this and looked it up i started to cry almost Immediately. this video has blessed me so much.....im so gresteful for Quentin L. Cook and his message to us.

[@MishkaHughes]

Wow. So inspiriing. Elder Cook truly is an apostle of the Lord!

[@gaymichaelis7581]

Thank you, Elder Cook!!!!! This is something we all need to hear!

[@katiemardon7759]

One amazing video i been through hard times since finding this church has help me

[@chrisa6455]

It really helps when they speak and they include these clips helps me to feel the spirit much more

[@Stratman389]

these video's help me immensely.

[@williamenochandrews8872]

Wonderful. Inspiring. Comforting. I am so thankful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and His Holy Prophet today, even President Thomas S. Monson. I am thankful for the Lord's Holy Apostles and His Restored true and living Church, even the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My wife, our children and I are honored and blessed to be members of it. The Holy Atonement of Jesus Christ truly heals all things. We are safe in His loving arms. Thank you Elder Quentin L. Cook.

[@86Wadley]

I love these videos and I love my Lord!

[@sgsound12]

This video is a remainder for me to be aware about the needed of help of my neighbors. This video is asking me to be more like Jesus right now and it is what I have to do.

[@fotheloveofmusic23]

Not a more powerful message for me right now in my life then this one amen I am grateful for the teacher's prophet's and there message delivered from christ through them for God's children

[@edmundoalarcon2000]

I thought destroyed my life 5 years ago it was only the beginning I have never prayed so hard for father to take me off this earth I've never knew such pain could even exist. Please father have mercy and take me soon I am unworthy

[@elizabethjohnson7681]

Yes... Jesus Christ always reached out to others, looked out for their interests and needs and met them. We are blessed and get happiness when following Jesus' steps and do this too

[@africankaleab360]

Jesus is King! God bless.

[@rexfordbeardsley]

I am so greatful for the Lord, and for his prophets and apostles.... this is a wonderful message!

[@thequirkylass3988]

This is beautiful. I love the way it merges at the end. Such wonderful truth.

[@dwyanewade8645]

I love these videos! Keep these coming Please

[@omiolo]

"many people have mental and physical health challenges" Come unto Christ, ye that are heavy ladened.

[@JedBrinton]

Elder Cook has clearly experienced trials, just like everyone has (including me). I love the suggestion that we can reach out to others when we ourselves are hurting. That is certainly what Christ did!

[@RTTK9]

I know this is a true principle. When we are suffering or going through trials... if we serve others, it lifts our hearts in the process. And both are people are blessed.

[@edithsymmans3273]

This is a powerful message…… I found this today and am grateful for the message that it conveys. Life can be very hard and the lose of loved ones is difficult to cope with, especially the lose of a child. No matter the length of time passed the grief at times is hard to come to terms with. Knowing the Lord is always there for me and praying helps to make going forward a little easier. He is there for me, all I need do is ask for His help and guidance. I am not alone for He stands by my side and at times carries me along.

[@MormonSoprano1]

One of the most touching messages here is that the Atonement of Jesus Christ covers every trial and pain we can ever face. The older I get, the harder my life gets. My hope is that it's all going to be OK in the end. I believe it will, because of Jesus. He can heal a broken heart, a broken mind, a broken body or a broken spirit. Our job is just to have as much faith as we possibly can. And when our faith brakes down, He can heal that, too. Thanks to Elder Cook for this reminder.

[@brluthi]

Thanks Elder Cook for the great lesson! The best way to overcome hard times is to look outward rather than inward, just like the Savior did.

[@persianlady55]

this brought me to tears as I listen to it in the public library I couldnt contain myself.best talk ever I will go and help others

[@rushipip777]

I'm thankful for my membership of the Church of Jesus Christ and Ladderday Saints. So much Love in the Church. God Bless America

[@terraferrah]

Hang in there. There are many who love and care for you. The Lord loves you very much!

[@Chevrobert]

I was an investigater in the church for 12 years before I got baptised. I wish I had done it sooner. The spirtual blessing have been amazing. And I have not felt unloved or unwanted sine my baptism I can feel Christ with me at all times.

[@momessori]

You can really feel the spirit when you watch these videos. I'm really glad the Church is on KZbin now!

[@SuperDerezzed]

this made me cry like a baby

[@katherineyork8697]

Beautiful message!

[@rtiffanytaylor]

A message of hope from whatever source should ring out in loud to all to hear, to know that Heaven is listening.. "love one another and give hope to those around us"

[@messproductions]

Very Good! A lot of times we get caught up with ourselves. This message reminds us of our many blessings despite temporary adversity.

[@papadonto8]

I saw a saying once Brad that stated, " When it becomes too hard to stand...kneel." I will say a prayer for you and ask for comfort for you. Remember, endure to the end and thy glory shall be great.

[@chrszie]

I am so greatful for men Like Elder Cook and these videos. Thank you for this inspiriing video.

[@joelherrey]

It brought me to tears... I loved this message! (not directly quoted) but they way we can be happy while in hardship is to help others. Like the attitute of the close friend of mine: You happy - Me happy

[@caysonstaples]

wow...i am speechless. i needed that badly. wow.........

[@thestorminmormons]

Thanks Elder Cook! I appreciate this as well as my family and most importantly my father in heaven for your words who saved one of his sons! God Bless

[@jgarrard28]

I needed that badly. I love Mormon Messages!

[@axetraxxify]

I'm absolutely puzzled as to why anyone would dislike such a beautiful message

[@cubanic80]

Great message! No matter how you think you have it, you will find someone else in worse conditions. Precisely the reason why you should always count your blessing and thank the Lord for them every day!!

[@dmjacketta]

Im great full for my challenges in life they help me to i have a loving Heavenly Father who loves me,and because He dose I am given adversities,trials,and afflictions for my own good.I love Elder Cook what a great apostle.

[@ascend6]

It is often through our trials that we develop a broader perspective, find new talents, strengthen our resolve, and feel our Savior's love. I am grateful for this knowledge and for this caring message and am touched by the many heavy hearts who found solace through this touching video. May the Savior bless each of you in your time of need as I know He has mine.

[@osrevad]

This is just what I needed to hear. I teared up at the end. Incredible message.

[@byutay]

Had heavy heart. Thanks. Just what I needed.

[@jahrasta4907]

These messages are some of the best videos available on KZbin. Clear and concise. True to the Gospel.

[@Whitefangblackflame]

I love this video. It gives me such hope

[@smacd34]

I love these videos; they are so uplifting. I simply have to say "amen" after each one.

[@selpmid520lds]

I am eternally grateful.. :) this has brought me to tears..

[@coreyshier7526]

in hard times when I've watched this w/others around I had to "excuse myself" to the bathroom, sit on the side of the bathtub, pick up a towel and quietly cry so hard I thought someone was about to kick the door down to check on me. when i couldn't cry anymore, I got on my knees and prayed like never before, and I felt His Healing hands reach down and hold me and comfort me until I my despair disappeared. I've don't really get any "Divine Inspiration" or answers for my problems; but I do get the strength to keep going and I felt better. That somehow my problems weren't so bad after all. still i just gotta say: "Lord, Hope ya know, I'm having a hard time!"

[@momonine53]

I watched this and thought "I really need to send this to......" I was brought to tears as I watched. What I need to do is to cry with my friends who are going through such tough trials and help them!

[@jbrabec22]

Amazing when we serve our neighbors, everything just seems to work out.

[@TheHappygilmore22]

I have viewed this many times, but right now it is hitting home and hope and pray our Savior forgives me for my shortcomings!!!!

[@Cordobeza96]

I've watched this video a million times and I'm watching it now as I am going through a hard time and I feel so grateful to be a part of this church! I am so comforted watching this video!

[@snowflakesfinest]

wow i love these videos. They are so pleasing and fulfilling to watch

[@jakewilson4589]

Awesome talk, Great video

[@sensualfold]

One word....Beautiful!

[@djwright44]

My good friend: may God bless you and be with you during these difficult times. Rely on Him and lean on Him. He will never, no never forsake you. He loves you and is there for you: may you be able to find your way through a difficult period.

[@samueeyore]

I have been blessed with a faith that has never faltered, unlike me. I have trouble not with faith, but with action. This video makes me cry every time I watch it. It helps me to know that despite my inadequacies and poor example that I set, I too can have hope in redemption no matter how far I stray.

[@AmazonLPN]

This is a beautiful message. Not too long ago, when I was praying for help during a rough time in my life, I was reminded of the scripture times. All those times when God's children would turn to Him during hard times, then forget Him when times were good. I try to remind myself of that so I can make a better effort to tell the Lord, "Thank you so much" as well as ... "Ya know, I'm having a really hard time!". God bless to you all...

[@HunterChristensen]

I needed to hear this message today. Regardless of what religion you are, this message strikes a chord with us all. Reaching out and helping each other is our central mission in this life. Putting off our own selfish desires, and making that sacrifice to help someone struggling on their own path.

[@jannutpie]

beautiful.. such a great message.. I know it's hard to look outside your own problems, but isn't it amazing how your problems seem less of a burden when you're helping to take on the burdens of others? you get to lose yourself and get to see what REALLY matters.. thank you for this video.. I love our Prophet Thomas S. Monson, and I love our Heavenly Father, who gave us his only begotten son so we'd never be weighed down in everlasting sorrow! Praise Jesus' name!

[@myfamilyiscrazy]

Another wonderful video. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@crisdraper5988]

Thank you for a great message.

[@paperbullet1945]

I love this idea. Even when we're having our own problems, we can reach out to others, even selflessly in our extremity. It is what Jesus did and would do.

[@TShirtAndReeboks]

Love it, love it, LOVE IT! Man, the end was the best! I think all of us could look around and see someone who could use our help, even though we ourselves are struggling with trials!

[@JourneyOfALostSul]

I have bi-polar disorder and struggle most days with deep depression. Sometimes it feels like it coats me like a deep, black tar, keeping me from touching the light and love of heavenly father, my friends, and my family. Some days, everyday tasks are too hard for me to complete, some days even getting out of bed is a trial. Sometimes I silently scream "Why me Lord?" I know he has his reasons and I thank him everyday for the blessing of friends and family and church. Thank you for this video.

[@wtalady]

@putittogether You are a very honest man. Thank you for your words of wisdom and caring brother.

[@MarLanong]

I definitely know this life is hard, its all hard there are test and trials but the end of all this there is a greater reward for all these hardships that one faces and that is Salvation. God I praise you.

[@mikeycito]

This video helped me out when I needed it most in my life. Thank you for such a perfect message, delivered in such a powerful way.

[@bomac100001]

Lost a job this week, no savings...but I have learned to trust that this is true, and I will get through it with the help of my Savior!

[@antbekki]

I needed to hear this today.....I needed this today. Thank you.

[@picklestheaussiebulldog]

This is a message I will be sure to pass on to a lot of people I know. Sometimes one doubts their faith when times are get tough. I lost my mother. I started to question why her, why me, what did I do? One has to realise that these tests of faith only make us stronger within. He listens, knows and is understanding. I know that every tear of suffering I experience on earth will be replaced with tears and tears of joy when we I am reunited with my mother. God Bless, Angela.

[@jaycecox7946]

Sometimes it's good to be reminded that we all have trials, and that we all have hope.
