When faith feels dim, start by holding onto the small sparks of truth you do have—prayer, scripture, and past spiritual experiences can reignite your light. Even in uncertainty, Christ’s love remains constant, and as you take even small steps toward Him, He will guide you through the darkness.
Scripture
“But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.”—Alma 32:27
Quote
“I have never witnessed the removal of an actual mountain. But because of faith, I have seen a mountain of doubt and despair removed and replaced with hope and optimism. Because of faith, I have personally witnessed a mountain of sin replaced with repentance and forgiveness. And because of faith, I have personally witnessed a mountain of pain replaced with peace, hope, and gratitude. Yes, I have seen mountains removed.”—Richard C. Edgley

Seek quiet moments daily—step away from distractions to pray, ponder, and listen for the whisperings of the Spirit.
Serve someone in need, even in a small way, as acting in love invites light and strengthens your connection to God.
