I do this through meditation and visual imagery.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll give you an example. Recently I had something emotionally upsetting on my mind. I was certain something that was important to me was coming to an end. I curled up in bed that night and let out a good cry. As I did, I imagined that my head rested on Jesus&#8217; shoulder and felt Him comforting me.<\/p>\n<p>As I did so, these words entered my mind, &#8220;It&#8217;s not time to mourn. This isn&#8217;t over.&#8221;  Along with the words, there came an overwhelming sense of peace. My tears stopped. I was able to get some sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Many times we let the fear of &#8220;what may happen&#8221; wash us downstream. Our worries over what may occur or what may not work out are every bit as distressing to us as the actual event. In those simple words the Savior spoke to me that night, I learned that we don&#8217;t need to mourn until the death knell tolls. Postpone your worry and your mourning until something bad actually happens.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, do as Deiter F. Uchtdorf advised, &#8220;Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You must become the rock the river cannot wash away,&#8221; Unknown Author.
