Today I have been in the most melancholy mood. It began last night and I have been praying earnestly for the cause or purpose of it. I know yesterday I spent a good deal of energy being jealous which I am happy to say I overcame through prayer and personal revelation. But my "blue" mood still continues. I began looking on lds.org for some sort of help. I was reminded that I need to continue my personal goal of memorizing the 13 articles of faith ... I have through Article 4 down but have since forgotten my goal.
I found a section on the website called LDS Gems. The message for today came from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland:
"you can have sacred, revelatory, profoundly instructive experience with the Lord in any situation you are in. Indeed, let me say that even a little stronger: you can have sacred, revelatory, profoundly instructive experience with the Lord in the most miserable experiences of your life—in the worst settings, while enduring the most painful injustices, when facing the most insurmountable odds and opposition you have ever faced."
Just reading this quote gave me peace and comfort. I still do not understand my mood, but it has waned for the time being so I am grateful.
