What can (or should) you do when your heart is depressed?

Thomas R. Valletta

“There are times when you simply have to righteously hang on and outlast the devil until his depressive spirit leaves you. As the Lord told the Prophet Joseph Smith: ‘Thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; and then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high’ (D&C 121:7–8). To press on in noble endeavors, even while surrounded by a cloud of depression, will eventually bring you out on top into the sunshine” (Benson, “Do Not Despair,” 68).
