"Now this was a great trial to those that did stand fast in the faith; nevertheless, they were steadfast and immovable in keeping the commandments of God, and they bore with patience the persecution which was heaped upon them." (Alma 1:25)
Life is difficult. Sometimes it even seems unfair. Those who try to do what is right often face persecution.

| Faith in Jesus Christ is the answer |
How can we be optimistic in such a challenging world? How can we remain steadfast and immovable when the standards of men and the wiles of popular culture are constantly changing?
The answer is faith in Jesus Christ. When we have faith in our Savior and His atonement, we will desire to keep His commandments. When we keep the commandments, we discover a measure of peace and joy the world simply cannot offer.
We can be optimistic even in challenging times. Like anything else, attitude is a choice. As we study the scriptures, pray, and keep the commandments, we will find our ability to remain steadfast and immovable will increase.
Isn't that something to smile about?
