Be of Good Cheer

The once sagging economy
Has taken a nasty nosedive
To where it ought not to be
This is simply a part of our lives...

God hath not given us the spirit of fear
But, of power, of love, and sound minds
Rejoice, all mankind, and be of good cheer
For as ye seek, so shall ye find

Far too numerous to mention
We’ve examples of those with much strength
Who during troubling times and great tension
Endured and emerged victorious at length....

It is often our attitude
That pulls us through come what may
As we persevere with gratitude
As we learn, grow, and find joy in the day

The future is surely as bright as our faith
Our courage, and determination
As the powers of heaven so patient await
Offering peace regardless our station

Be of Good Cheer
President Thomas S. Monson
Ensign, May 2009,

2 Timothy 1:7

"God hath not givn us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
