Since today is Good Friday, I wanted to make a post of encouragement for anyone who may be currently struggling with something difficult in their life, or for anyone who may be unhappy, discouraged or depressed. First, take a minute to watch this 2½ minute video.
I don't think there's ever been or ever will be anyone who goes through life without facing some sort of trial or dark time in their life. Trials are just part of mortality. As frustrating or as difficult as they may be, trials are what make us better people (if we let them, that is). I'm sure it can be really hard to see a trial as a good thing, or as an opportunity to become a better person when we're right in the middle of the darkest part it, but I know it's true.
Here's a quote of my favorite part of the video clip: "Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays.

"But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come. No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, in this life or the next, Sunday will come." – Joseph B. Worthlin
I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter as we remember the Atonement and celebrate the resurrection and life of Jesus Christ!
