Overcoming Life’s Obstacles Video

I don’t know how to put into words a commentary on this moving and powerful video “Your Great Adventure: Overcoming Life’s Obstacles” produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so instead I’ll let the video speak for itself.

This inspiring message is a much needed reminder of why we are here and what this life is really about.  We all struggle at times over the challenges of life.  We face discouragement over the seemingly unsurmountable trials.  But through it all there is hope in the love of our Savior Jesus Christ and his comforting influence in our times of need.

Sometimes, His help comes immediately.  Other times He will come later after we’ve walked a while in the dark.  Just know that He will be there exactly when we need Him most.

Some of the powerful lines that stuck out to me while watching while watching the video were:
“I’m here to keep trying”
“It’s not a sprint. It’s a marathon.”
“It’s your choices that show what you truly are far more than your abilities. Even if I failed, I could choose not to give up.”

These word struck a deep cord in me.  We are not defined by our setback, but by our persistence, our choices, and our willingness to keep going.

If you’re feeling discouraged while overcoming life’s obstacles, watch this video.  Let it remind you that you’re not alone in your struggles.  Your journey has a purpose.  And most importantly, there is One who knows exactly where you are and He will never give up on you.

Personally, I have faith that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are there for me as I’m struggling with my weaknesses and that Christ will lift me up as I turn to Him for help.  I believe He will do the same for you.

Should you need additional help, be sure to reach out to trusted friends, professional counseling, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has Life Help Resources online.
