Help in Tough Times

Here is the quote from the Ensign today. In the talk by Elder Rafael E. Pino:
"...when adversity arrives in our lives, the only true source of comfort is God. 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid' (John 14:27)."

"Living the gospel does not mean that we will everlastingly escape adversity. Rather it means that we will be prepared to face and endure adversity more confidently."

I think that there is a lot of adversity out there today. The economy is failing and prices are rising. It seems that the blight on society is overtaking those parts that are good. I am glad that there is the gospel. If I didn't have a basic understanding of the plan of happiness it might be really easy to lose hope when times are tough.
