- www.mormonchann... - Learn from the life of Esther and other inspiring women the importance of trusting in God and courageously standing up for what you believe.
To approach the king uninvited was to risk execution; even for the queen. I know I never thought about this being brave, I just had to have faith that God was going to help me. Everybody has trials and things in their life that don't go as planned. It's hard, every day. For me surviving is about two things: courage and faith. (Anne Marie) I just thought, 'I have to do something.' (Maria) I looked up to the heavens and prayed. (Desirae) I knew that death was a possibility. (Anne Marie) I know we get a variety of different trials. (Desirae) I was diagnosed in August of 2011. I think it's amazing how just one brief moment can change the course of everything. (Anne Marie) So, one day I went into work and the company decided they wanted to do something that was against my beliefs. So I thought, 'Okay, well I need to stand up for what I need to stand up for and do what I need to do.' (Maria) My husband said he would come home for lunch but was hit by a car, and did never come back. I have felt the loss. (Desirae) It was probably the scariest moment of my life. (Anne Marie) You don't ever realize how strong you are until being strong is all that you have left. (Desirae) Being brave doesn't mean that I'm not afraid. (Anne Marie) Brave is just acting in faith. (Desirae) When we know we don't want to face it, but we know we don't have any other option. We just have to push forward. (Anne Marie) I quit my job. We don't know what the Lord is trying to teach us, but if I really trust Heavenly Father, it really doesn't matter what I don't understand. (Desirae) I know that God has a plan for me that usually is totally different than the plan that I have for myself. It's not always easier, but it's always better. (Maria) In time, I felt peace. With faith in God, I have everything.
Trusting in the Lord and standing up for what you believe in is hard, turn to the scriptures and have courage and faith and you will grow stronger.

"you never know how strong you are until being strong is all you have"
Very true
"If I really trust Heavenly Father, it really doesn't matter what I don't understand" (2:30)
I loved that too!
It's the year 2020....we are in the middle of COVID 19....however, I trust God even if I don't understand. Blessings to the hearers and doers of His Holy Word.
Wise words
I am proud to be a Mormon
The actress who plays Esther in this video is staggeringly beautiful.
All of the actresses in this video are gorgeous!!!
Without god I amnothing
We need more people like Esther to stand up for what we believe in these times and whats to come.
Be Brave, Remember, that bravery is not the lack of fear, but the ability to move foward in spite of fear.
I am very blessed to be a Mormon and I hope others are too😊
Collin- I was in the same shoes last year. Now I am a very happy & involved Latter Day Saint. Pray, be a good example, let your mother know you love her no matter what & do what you feel is right no matter how hard it may be. I went through with my decision to be baptized & I've never been happier! Despite my mom being completely against the idea, she& my relatives attended my baptism! I asked my mom to say the opening prayer& it was the most sincere message I had ever heard. Have faith, Collin.
Please, keep on with your wonderful Videos.I ve seen many opposing Mormonism and many ex Mormons show up in You Tube , but the Church and its philosophy rings true and messages still uplift others, Thanks!!!
I agree in every way
🎯!
So true.. Courage is acting in faith- it doesn't mean you don't have fear, but you don't let the fear stop you. Push ahead and do what you know it right!
"We don't know what the lord is trying to teach us, but if I really trust HEAVENLY FATHER, It really doesn't matter what I don't understand..." awesome quote
True words
Beautiful! Esther is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. I love her and admire her courage and faith. We need more people like her.
Courage is finding the strength to set aside your own fears, sorrows and disappointments, because there are others who's fears, sorrows and disappointments need your loving attention.
This is exactly what I needed today. Esther has always been my favorite. I think I just needed to be reminded of her story. Mormon Messages are the best!
To me, it took great courage to quit my job when Heavenly Father impressed upon my mind that He needed me elsewhere. I had no idea what was ahead of me. That path was dark, unseen. I also knew that one day I would have to then explain why I left a "great" job despite our current economic situation. Everyone thought I was making a huge mistake. I still cannot see the whole picture but I do know that obedience to Heavenly Father no matter how illogical it may seem, has brought so many blessings.
I could have shown this in class today. Brave is acting in faith ❤
I absolutely love this video. Having faith (at least for me) means letting go and learning to trust that everything is a part of Heavenly Father's plan for my life. Things may not always work out the way that we would like them to - but they always work the way that they need to.
I prayed to Our Heavenly Father that you will have courage and be healed.
May God bless you!!!
Wow, I didn't know much about Ester but after seeing this video and reflecting on my own life, I realized that I too do stand for what I believe, I live it, I love it, I believe it! Courage is a gift when you have faith, when one door closes, another opens. Faith is believe in the unseen but knowing you are loved and your happiness is an important care to God, your Heavenly Father. He wants the best for you and his timing is best!
Every time I watched these 'examples' in this video I KNOW I can be courageous. Thank you Mormon Messages for touching so many lives with these messages.
My mom said that she will never let me be baptized, but I am 18. All the church members are saying to wait for her permission, but she is never going to let me.
I don't know what to do.
I am a member of the church now. I was baptized July 20, 2013, and I received my endowment last year.
Colin Henderson happy for you😊
You are incredible
Congrats!
Celebrate good times come on 🥳🥳🥳😛😛😜😜
😊😊😊 How are you doing how?
This Video reminded me how so many - in all walks of life - need faith to overcome fears all around us. I love Esther's example (and these three modern women). When they were all walking to their 'test/trial' and the music swelled there - well, it gave me shivers - I felt I could face ANY trail and test that lie before me. Thank you for giving this gift to us.
when you watch these you know how much more you need to be to God I am so thankfuly for what I have now. Even through I still fight to stay to live all of his Coveant and Commandments..
I love where I am. He cares about me.
thank you so much! I needed this today! My disease has come out of remission in the last few weeks, and I remember feeling those same things, I need to feel that courage again now... Thank you for the reminder, and i know that i can overcome ALL with Faith in Christ, and ALL that he requires is for my good.
I've been inspired by so many faithful women of courage throughout my life. Thank you for this beautiful video that features the valiant daughters of Eve!
I love this. I love this so much. I needed this so much today. I am so thankful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and that I got to serve as a full-time missionary to help others find faith in Christ. I know that what this video is talking about is true. I have seen this true in my own life. I would add the amazing quote: *"Courage is fear that has said its prayers."* :)
*God does have a plan* for all of us. As was said in the video, "It's not always easier, but it's *always* better". You can know it like Esther did through prayer and acting on your faith in God and His son, Jesus Christ. :)
This brought tears to my eyes... I hope I can be as courageous as these women are.
Thank you...just when I needed a loving reminder that courage is valued action in the presence of fear without guarantee of a desired outcome. Standing up, facing it, pushing forward, excited to see what God has planned.
Beautiful, thank you. I needed this, it reminded me that I'm strong and not alone. Heavenly Father is always at my side.
Just have the courage to face the obstacles, there are days when it's hard...
I have been fighting against depression for about five years now. Every day is a battle, some days are harder than others, and sometimes I loose those battles. This video has reminded me that even though I have failed sometimes, I have continued to fight. Despite the many times I look at myself and don't like what I've seen, I have shown courage just by trying. Thank you for this video.
You are loved
Beautiful! Courage is necessary in our world. I had courage to marry and start a family when my husband was still in college.
Esther is such an inspiration!
It's so beautiful and with true faith the Lord will be with you,God bless Ester. I
God Bless All of my brothers and sisters in Christ Love you all and see you in the Kingdom if it be Gods Will
Small steps in the right direction make a big difference.
You don't know me but I needed you words right now.
Always stand up for what you believe in! ! God will bless you for that and many other things.
I love the music in this video-whenever I need courage I hear it. My son was killed by a drunk driver and three years - to the month and day!- my husband died from cancer. If anyone knows the name of the music please let me know...thank you!
SuzzyStohelit I'm sorry for you loss may Jesus heal you of your sorrow
I am so sorry for your loss. You are a strong woman.
I hope you are doing well & found the music.
Great Reminder message of Gods Love and the Courage that Faith brings. The Music is warm and uplifting and moving....
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a few months ago. I am just 36 years old and I have four children. When day I went to sleep and I woke and couldn't move my arm. I was in so much pain I could not describe it. I couldn't not even brush my hair and do the daily routine I enjoy doing it. It has been a roller coaster ride but with this trial I have learned to rely on people and Heavenly Father.
Lol, which Mormon did you meet? We aren't all the same! :-D I am only a teenager, but absolutely love this church, and I would be lost without it! I am honestly speaking when I say that it really hurts my heart, knowing that there are those out there that don't know that there is a Father in Heaven that loves them so much. I cant imagine the pain and sorrow that our Heavenly Father feels for us, when He sees us going through these trials, and what joy he feels when we are gladenned! :-D
It takes courage to trust in the Lord and be submissive to His will. At first, we may question why or desire things that WE want- things that are more convenient for us, things that allow us to stay in our own little bubble. However, we will receive blessings upon listening to our Father in Heaven and doing what He asks of us.
beautiful...... I love all these women and admire their incredible courage....
Thank you. This came at exactly the right moment onto my feed
Wow I have never seen this video before, and that's saying something. This is such a beautiful video telling Esther's story and I love the connections they made with real, strong, faithful women. Truly inspiring, I look forward to sharing this.
Also, is it just me or did anyone else think this was Natalie Portman/ Padme Amidala at first? Lol
God bless you always
Hang in there sister, It is an asum ride when you start out by following what he would have you do. This happened to me over 50 years ago, and to this day I know he is still with me, he reaches out to me when I* really need his help, when dark clouds lum over me. in an instance his light ( the feeling of true peace will come into me and I find peace and rest, then continue on the track he wants me to follow.
There is a peace like know other when he is with you it is truly wonderful
Amen god is king
I needed to hear this today.
I've been grateful for esters example for awhile now but this gave it to me in a new light.
You're right, you don't always think of being brave as having the faith to do the right thing whatever you understand.
I am a seventh day adventist and know that only Gods holy word is true. He is the only source of faith, courage, hope, love , guidance, strength, kindness, patience and every good thing/event on this earth. Jesus Christ is the one and only begotten Son of God and the only way to the Father is through Him. We can and do weather all storms because God never leaves or forsakes us just as He promised.
Great video ! And the actress who plays Esther is stunningly beautiful !
What an amazing video!
I feel this every day.
I love this video so much
Beautiful Esther had so much and she could have been silent. She still would have been a beautiful queen, nothing changed. Instead, she chose to stand up to the king in behalf of her faith and her people. Her ancient testimony about faith and courage is as true to me and as meaningful as these other women's.
I thank God Amen
This is beautiful
Great inspiration. God bless you all.Amen.
courage for right purpose will surely wins
Coline I will pray for your mom to soften her heart. Prayer changes things....and it may not change it the way that we want....but it does change. I will pray to give you courage to be a good example for your mom. It will all work out in the end. In the mean time stay strong and faithful.
Thank you for beauitful strength of Esther doing something I don't believe in doing but no change in my husband beauitful Esther thank you for the blessing.
Very inspirational. I believe. I am Him.
Oh my gosh I love this
Exactly what I was needing! :)
It's a wonderfull movie, I hope that inspire many woman in the world, that we can have more Esther's between us.
Trusting in God requires having faith that he wants the best for you. Even if we don't understand him, we can understand that he knows what's better for us more than we can.
Amen :) We must have courage in order for change to happen..:)
It takes courage for me to be active politically as I try to influence lawmakers to make important choices that protect liberty.
I hope my courage can save many❤️
I think the idea was to have each one mirroring Esther, and in her case, that was her preparation. It wasn't about going to battle, it was about putting her best foot forward,in spite of hopeless circumstances. Preparing by dressing in their best, is symbolic of expecting success. (Honestly, I think these women display greater courage in facing unseen, untouchable dangers, versus than taking up arms against a mortal foe).
this story is really inspiring
"Just because i'm brave doesn't mean that i'm not afraid...brave is acting in faith".
God bless Esterand with real faith the Lord will be with you and I morn for for you with little faith ln our Lord.
Keep up your faith! Things will get better, I know it!
Love this video ❤️ thank you
What a beautiful video, and message. Have faith, be courageous.
I had watched this on sunday in Young Womens
Sarah - you are in my prayers!
standing up for what you believe in gets harder and harder as you grow older especially at work
I've actually found it to be easier because I know who I am more than I did when I first started working and u know that life is too short to put up with it. You are so much happier if your conscience is clear because you are doing what you know is right.
I think this was an excellent video. Thank you.
Beautiful!
Courage isn't the lack of fear its when faith overcomes fear
Faith in God can change everything.
el corage nos hace actuar acompañado con la fe y el amor de nuestro padre celestial, sabemos de estamos haciendo lo
correcto
Dear Miss Sarah..............as a fellow traveler, on this earth, a single, full time, stay at home dad, of an incredible special needs little girl, Savannah, diagnosed with 6 developmental syndromes, that has been "raising" my Savannah, by myself, since the day she turned 9 months old. I am so willing to stand up, for you and shout, "stand tall" and "hold fast". Please accept the following as a special gift just for you, bring up the "sullivan ballou letter on youtube
God bless you Miss Sarah
Beautiful examples.
It took all the courage I had to leave the LDS church I loved with all my heart. I still miss the relationship I had with my family and friends who no longer see me the same, but I know I did the right thing for me.
This reminded me of a song by Ryan Innes: "Courage To Stand Strong" from the 2010 EFY album. "It takes courage to speak, it takes courage to know, it takes courage to lead and sometimes it takes faith to follow. It takes courage to wait when the battle is long, we'll fight the fight and just keep holding on, we'll take courage to stand strong." :-)
Thank God for helpmeets
this is just an amazing video.thank you so much..:)
Standing up for what you know is right..can be hard. But is is never so hard as when it is someone you Love, and you know by saying No they will probably go away. When it is your child there must be boundaries and they need to know the Lord's Way Is The Only Way :-)
Amen❤
Amen
Amen☝🏻😇❤️
Esther was a very beautiful selfless woman, as with the brave and courageous sisters in the video. A good part of Esther's beauty came from her courage and faith to follow what she knew was right, in her heart risking her life to do it. The gospel of Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus the Messiah) comes to remind us that if we lay down our life for his sake, we shall find it. (Matt 16:25) Esther was blessed of YHWH (God the Father) who saved her life and the lives of the Jews. We can learn truths from all faiths that follow the Word of God from the Torah to the Old and New Testament.
This is a great video
I love Esther
AMEN!!❤
It is good
How have I been brave? Hmm. Not sure, lately. I guess standing and speaking when a member of the 70 asked for comments. That was two weeks ago from tomorrow. I've been feeling like I shouldn't talk in church, and when the Spirit told me to stand and speak, I started crying, almost a panic attack. I guess we just need to do what Heavenly Father wants us to do. Was that brave? Not compared to these women, but when I'm scared, I'll remember that moment, standing and having the 70 thank me
