The Plan of Happiness:
Elder Neal A. Maxwell taught that "the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives." Our hope in the future is founded on the knowledge that God's plan of happiness is in effect, and our individual journeys, though unique, are part of a grand and divine design.
Preparing for Future Blessings:
Hope in the future motivates us to prepare for the blessings God has in store for us. President Thomas S. Monson often reminded us that "your future is as bright as your faith." By aligning our lives with gospel principles, we actively participate in preparing for the future God has prepared for us.
Trusting in Divine Timing:
In moments of waiting and uncertainty, our hope in the future is strengthened by trusting in God's timing. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland reassures us that "the Lord compensates the faithful for every loss." As we exercise patience and trust in His plan, our hope becomes an enduring source of peace and assurance.
