Wow. God knows what we need to hear. I don't know why I'm surprised by this every time it happens, but I'm grateful He speaks to us.

Writing a letter to yourself is such a powerful thing. For me writing a letter to Christ has been very powerful too. Way to go Stuart!

Very great advise. I actually did this 30 years ago. What I've found since then is that as long as I keep Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ as the center of all I say and do and realize that their will be done and not mine, then my life has gone much smoother with less hardships.

This is the exact thing that my husband and I needed to hear. I recall writing letters to my future self when I was a missionary in Norway. Those letters would help bring me encouragement when times felt dark and helped me realize how much I have grown since my last letter. I am grateful for those letters that I have wrote and would gladly like to write a letter to my future self again. :)

I wrote myself a letter while serving a mission 15 years ago and am going to open it this December. Maybe I shouldn't have set such a long date. I know the Lord is in all the little details of our lives and he has a plan for each of us.

Dear Sarah , Heavenly father hears your prayers and knows your efforts . He is about to bless you beyond what you can measure . You are about to receive the breakthrough that you need . God bless you . Sarah ( letter to myself )

I can’t believe I almost said no to my current job this makes me think about how one little choice can change things

Love it!! I wrote myself a letter 8 years ago to open it this year on my birthday and it’s given me much joy to read my 11 year old self and receive encouragement to serve an LDS mission

A job that humbles your soul is GREAT for your future life.

Hi Stuart, what an inspiring task. I listended to motivational speakers but have never been told to do this. I've just written my letter to myself and will open it on the 2oth December. I can do this every 4-6 moths and just keep replying to myself and see where I go with it. Thanks brother.

I wish I could post pictures! I have met Stuart Edge twice and his cousin. He is so awesome! His videos don't even show how cool of a person he is. Everyone has unique stories in life and God IS there working in our lives!

With faith I'm a firm believer of miracles. Nice work, Stuart!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful suggestion of hope:)

Thank you for this. I cannot believe it. God’s timing is everything. I had prayed for some sort of sign and also how to inspire a friend of mine how to move forward from a health setback. And also what would happen for me in the future since this pandemic has almost obliterated my industry. It’s amazing just how fast Our Heavenly Father answers us.

wuaooooo !!! I used to write me a letter for my next birthday , was amazing in my youth but never did after, i'll start it and let me surprise me, thank u

I've been feeling hopeless and very stuck... I'm writing myself a letter right now , much Love and thank you

This is great I remembered years ago doing this in Relief Society activity night and they gave us the outline plan to start writing to ourselves. It was interesting at that time so we all started along the way we did not keep up to it. Reading this today remind me to go back and find these notes I wrote and to continue doing it. Thank you for this inspiration message that helps us understand to do something like this for our children to read and our grandchildren or great grandchildren or our generations to come. Thanks again. I like listening to your message today that inspired me to do so.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It has given me hope that up rooting my wife and kids from the house and city that they call home will be the right thing to do. I too have gotten impressions since Covid started back in Feb that I needed to make some big changes in my life. With those changes in place I have felt the spirit more in my life and the Lords hands guiding me to the path that I can not only help my family but also other extended family members to prepare for his glorious Second Coming. It was not easy. It took faith and hope through the hardship of repentance, and courage to invite extend family members, who have left the Church for years, to come back to the Gospel that their Grandparents and Pioneer heritage sacrificed so much for. I continue to be led by the Lords hands and now the Lord has softened my wife’s heart and has helped her understand that He (the Lord) is leading me and that I’m not this crazy man. It’s funny 😊 there were times where I got glimpses of how Lehi must have felt when he had to up root his family and comfort his wife Sariah during their journey in the wilderness.

What a cool story from this cute ginger dude. Good for him. Meditate and clear your head to receive impressions to help you become your best self.

Excellent! Similar experience here, but in different ways. I remember hearing the primary song play in my head, “A Child’s Prayer.” I had to learn over again that it’s Heavenly Father’s time-table, not mine. But, the MOST IMPORTANT principle I learned was that I had to also remember that I was here to receive counsel from The Lord and NOT to counsel Him. Thanks for posting this video.

Thanks, Stuart for the letter you wrote. I made a list. I wanted to pass a driving test. The last on the list was to drive a car. So what you said has inspired me write a letter.

Way to be, Stuart. Onward and upward.

Totally agree !!! 👌👌👌

Stuart , You're the man bro! I remember your positive attitude at the Celebration Center (how's that for a blast from the past). Seeing you go from there to becoming the creator of one of my favorite KZfaq Channels is very inspiring. Especially as a fellow latter-day saint who wants to make a living in the entertainment industry (though in a slightly different way than you). Thanks for being an inspiration and good example.

Thank you Stuart! You are a blessing for me! You give me great hope that I can learn to make great You Tube videos also! Yes, wait on the Lord and He will provide more goodness! Thanks for sharing your wonderful message of hope!!!

Thank you for this video!😊🙏

Thank you for sharing this. It has inspired me not only to write a letter to my self, but go out and “buy the the camera”. Thank for all the cool videos as well.

Thank you for such an inspiring video. I attribute hope, to God, They go together and what a powerful Testimony that you have borne of hope. In the LDS Church, we do have an understood assignment to archive our lives, Journal writing and keeping. What a healthy and wholesome practus and blessing for our posterity. I hang out on the KZfaq a lot, Looking for inspiring Messages and thoughts, And this video is a highlight!

Beautiful!

God bless! Amen!

I’ve no words to describe how inspirational is such a video! Wonderful!

Nice!

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing your experience.

Who are you, I love your message so much. I N E E D E D to hear that, absolutely inspiring, literally spoke life into

Hey! He came to my school and talked about this!

What a great idea, and so true! He definitely wants to give us those little impressions! Thanks Stuart! And whoever helped him put this video together and post it with the church! *Looking at you church media crew and friends 😜

ur an inspiration: yes i can! thank u! i especially like the letter-writing to one's future self 🙂

Thank you !!! Gracias💕💕💕👏👏👏👏

Wonderfully uplifting. Thank you

Thank you!!! This is what I needed!!! ♥️♥️♥️

I just got off the phone with a friend who I was talking to about my job and this video popped up in my notifications. This was absolutely so helpful. Thank you so much!

Wow God bless you Stuart! I can feel the spirit in your videos

Wonderful video 👌😊

so inspirational! Just what I needed to hear!

I'm glad that he included the date that he uploaded his first video, as it allowed me to find his channel. I've been watching his videos all day, and they're fantastic. His name is Stuart Edge. You should definitely check out his channel. He deserves more subscribers.

Mahalo Stuart! Now we know the story behind your story! Thank you for sharing and inspiring! May you have more inspiring moments and memorable stories that you can share with us! :)

Thank you for sharing this video and I will do right now 💖💖💖

This so awesome and inspiring!

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏

This video just answered a very specific prayer. God really is in every detail of our lives

Amen 🙏🏽 ✝️

Great idea! I should write myself letters too. We might not ever be temporally successful in life, but I know that God loves each of us, and he hears, and answers heartfelt prayers. He will strengthen us to get through life's trials.

🦋God will find away -trust his timing and remain faithful even if your going through hell

Awesome story and perspective. What a great way to make the best of a crappy situation.

Amem!

This was all good. I remember that mistletoe video, too.

Thank you from Italy 🇮🇹

This is such an inspiring message. Thank you Stuart!

Way to go Stuart. It's cool to see you progress through your career.

Love💕thank you!

This is inspiring ! Thanks for sharing 🙏

Hey I recognized him from his KZfaq videos! I'm grateful you shared your story. I think a lot of us feel stuck right now. But I have a brighter hope for my future. Thank you ❤️

What a lovely idea!❤️🐱🐾🐾

I needed this message, thank you.

Good idea, I’ll write myself a letter.

I didn’t really watch the video, but this topic is very interesting. I started writing letters and emails to myself to read in the future about 14 years ago when I started experiencing depression and anxiety as a teenager. It’s been nice to see how life evolves and amazing to see how fast time goes by - a reminder that everything bad/good is very transitory. I’ll read my next email on November 21!

i hope too

I was looking for a sign and I found this! It encourages me to do the content that I was wanting to do on KZfaq. my channel is in Spanish. Stuart Edge thanks for sharing your experience and inspiring us. 😇

Thank you for THIS video Stewart!! I have been wanting to go into something "different" for quite a while...I'm gonna write myself a letter too!!! God bless, b safe...linda

Thank you. Beautiful message.

I like this. I have anxiety about it as I hear you but I am going to attempt. Thanks for your time to do this

Fantastic video! So inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Bravo! Another inspirational message from Hope Works, boy I just love this channel, this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for the lovely reminder and for being a great example of steadfastness. Even something as simple as staying the course and being still, can be a big ask if it is not something one is accustomed to. This presentation sends a beautiful message that God is mindful of us and he knows what we are carrying.

this inspiring, I'm inspired to try this in my life. Thank you

I suppose I can look back in my journal to February of this year and that would be a letter to myself I could open today! Thanks for this great video! I shared it with a friend who needs a little support right now.

It’s very true that the Lord provides the opportunity as you walk in darkness with faith. Great story.

WOW thank you so much for sharing ✨ so heartfelt and inspirational 💕💕💕

Thanks for this, definitely helps me!

I wrote a letter to myself when I was still 17 and plan to read it when I become 30. I experience a lot of challenges in my life that really tested me. One time while pondering, I remember that letter and read it even if I'm still not 30. Reading it gives me comfort and inspire me not to give up on whatever failures. That 17 year old girl motivated me to continue on my journey of becoming who and what I want to be when I become 30.

Boy, I need this hope!! Thank you

Love this!

This is so inspirational

😊❤

I wrote to myself when I was in first grade to my fifth grade self. When I read the letter it said “it is hot here and maybe then it will be hot too” that is exactly what I wrote and that made me crack up! I’m going to definitely write to myself!

That is so powerful!!!

Time capsule opening it on my wedding day

🙏amen

You made lots of little good choices. You were a force for good even when you were cleaning those porta poties. One million views or nine. You’re a good man who obviously always tries to follow the spirit:) that is evident. That makes all the difference ! not to mention you were a great home teacher. Way to be such a force for good Stuart!

Amen

Thank you for sharing this, its true the Lord knows us better than we know ourselves. If we listen to his voice he will guide us. I will try to cut the radio and replace it with inspirational talks, and so forth.🙏🏿

wow, I got chills and am in awe, this is so amazing!! I wish i could do such an internship! Do you ever make videos where you teach the basics on how to make videos? Incredible story!

Thank you. I needed this.

Thank you for putting this video up :)

Love Jesus

Just what I needed to hear.

I actually saw one of his pranks on Facebook and his content is actually great and awesome..

This is such an inspiring video.

Amen 🙏🏻❤️❤️🙏🏻

Such a cool story maybe I’ll make a KZfaq Chanel one day to!

I have written a few letters to myself over the years - I've lost all of them before opening!

This guy was my middle school math teachers son. He was a pretty lit dude
