We Must Not Let Discouragement Overwhelm Us That feeling of hope that emanated from the Savior was constantly with Peter. The recurring vision and feeling of his loving eyes and beckoning face came back and back again to Peter—and they will to us—and Peter came back and was strong—what a strength he was. And we must come back and be strong. He didn’t allow discouragement to overwhelm him. He grasped that hope in the Savior and held onto it till it became a “perfect brightness of hope.” And so must we! We could go on and on and give example after example, and some may say, “Sure, but that is the Savior and that is 2000 years ago. I am me and my problems are mine. I live now in 1984 and he isn’t around. I can’t touch the hem of his robe, etc., and no one understands my problems, and my problems are different.” To all of those comments I just say, “He isn’t around—oh, isn’t he? No one understands—oh, doesn’t he? My problems are different—oh, are they?”
