I just read this article from church magazine Liahona and I feel that I have to record this quote here. This is taken from President Boyd K. Packer
"We live in day when adversary stresses on every hand the philosophy of instant gratification. We seem to demand instant everything, including instant solution to our problems.
We are indoctrinated that somehow we should always by instantly emotionally comfortable. When that is not so, some become anxious - and all too frequently seek relief from counseling, from analysis, and even from medication.
It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.
Teach our member to be that life if they have a good, miserable day once in a while, or several in a row, to stand steady and face them. Things will strainghten out.
There is great purpose in our struggle in life."
I know what the prophet said is true. May who read this feel the same I feel.
