There's a lot of talk in the last few chapters of the Book of Mormon about faith, hope and charity. I've learned that to have faith means to truly believe that the Lord will come through for us and answer our righteous desires - whether it has to do with challenges our kids are having, problems we are having - just having complete and total confidence in Him and His promises.
Regarding hope, I've learned that if we have faith, then we can hope for better things to come, and that if we don't have that hope we are likely in despair and despair cometh because of iniquity.
And I've learned that charity is the purest, noblest kind of love there is and if we don't feel it we should pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart that we may be filled with this love.
I'm working on increasing my faith by cultivating that attitude of total trust and confidence in the Lord and increasing my charity by praying for it with all energy of heart.

I, too, have been trying to rely more on my faith. When I let doubt and fear take over, I do lose hope and feel depressed. This is a great lesson. I hope to e the kind of person who radiates the light of the Gospel and lives in complete faith.
