How do I remain patient and faithful when my most fervent and righteous desire is to get married in the temple, and I can rarely even get a date?

I have loved the churches resources for addiction recovery and those for same gender attraction. I don’t struggle with those things but it’s helped me learn more about them and better understand those who do. I personally struggle with mental illness and other than that Elder Holland talk on

depression there aren’t many church produced free materials, classes or group meetings if any on that subject. It would be nice if there was a website for us that could teach us how to cope and group meetings to go to where we can share our struggles but also faith and hope that are anonymous like addiction recovery group meetings. Do you think y’all could make that happen?

How can I view dating as a righteous and joyous pursuit when it often provokes feelings of inadequacy, fear, rejection, anxiety and worry? Sometimes it feels like dating makes friendships awkward and leads to more rejection than happy relationships. How do I change my attitude towards it?

How can I find strength to not only overcome my addiction but love myself enough to make it through? It seems to drain all my self-worth and remembering the love of God is hard when I'm acting against His commandments.

I have a few friends who are members of the Church and have recently come out as gay. Although their faith in God is strong, they say that it is very hard to want to stay in the Church because they are not allowed to act on what they feel. I know that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained

of God, but why then does God create some of his children with homosexual tendencies if it is against the law of chastity to act on them? How can I coincide my beliefs about God and His Church with this lack of understanding? What counsel can I give my friends? How can I strengthen my own faith even when I don't understand this?

Why don't I struggle with the book of Isaiah when so many struggle with it? I'm not any more righteous? At least I don't think I am. Why is it I can understand it and other faithful members are struggling with it? Why is it so easy for me to understand, but so difficult to explain to help others to

understand it? Why do so many that are more righteous than me struggling with the words of Isaiah?

If service missionaries are equal in God's eyes, why do I feel like the teaching missionaries do more for our Father in Heaven no matter how I serve or how much service I give or how much I'm willing to sacrifice? When I tell people that I'm a service missionary they say, "How fun?". Why? No one

says this to teaching missionaries about their missions. Do people only view my mission as fun and games? Am I a lesser missionary to them? Am I a lesser missionary to God? I'm just trying to serve God and represent Christ well and serve as He would? Why are service missionaries viewed so differently than teaching missionaries even among members of the Church?

How do I teach others to receive personal revelation from Heavenly Father?

Do you know if we'll be receiving more sacred books from our Father in Heaven soon?

Why don’t you guys film a show that shows a day in the life of an apostle or explain what it is y’all do? I’m really curious about what all of you do day in and day out.

Are energy Drinks against the word of wisdom? I know that anything harmful we shouldn't consume, but recently the church has put out a statement that is more specific in naming more prohibited substances. Will energy drinks be addressed in the future. My problem is that for me, they are in the gray

area. I dont consume them often but every once in a while i do.

La mia testimonianza sta crescendo in questo periodo, lo ammetto. Però, in questi momenti di gioia spirituale riesco a sentire anche la presenza di Satana che cerca di farmi ricadere in vecchie abitudini negative. Questo è un periodo in cui mi sto preparando per andare in Missione e so che il

diavolo vuole impedirlo. Perciò la mia domanda è: come faccio ad alzare ancora di più le difese per diventare poi un missionario degno e integro?

I am a missionary in the Canada Montréal Mission, which merged with what was formerly known as the Canada Halifax Mission only a few months ago. Our new mission vision since then has been for our two missions to become "One in Christ", as you have taught in the October 2018 General Conference. What

suggestions might you have for what we can do to accomplish this vision as a merged mission?

Growing up my best friend and I were extremely active: attending church camps, participating in activities, and going to church every week. Because of situations in her family, she has fallen away from the church becoming not only "anti-Mormon", but agnostic. Over the years these differences have

been hard for us to reconcile. How can I best balance my relationship with my friend I love dearly and the gospel, church, and God I love too?
