Half Way There

Today I was able to finish listening to another session of conference. Although all of the talks for the Saturday morning session were wonderful, I was especially struck by the words of Elder Henry B. Eyring who spoke about adversity:

"With all the differences in our lives, we have at least one challenge in common. We all must deal with adversity. There may be periods, sometimes long ones, when our lives seem to flow with little difficulty. But it is in the nature of our being human that comfort gives way to distress, periods of good health come to an end, and misfortunes arrive. Particularly when the comfortable times have gone on for a while, the arrival of suffering or the loss of material security can bring fear and sometimes even anger. . . .

It will comfort us when we must wait in distress for the Savior’s promised relief that He knows, from experience, how to heal and help us. The Book of Mormon gives us the certain assurance of His power to comfort. And faith in that power will give us patience as we pray and work and wait for help. He could have known how to succor us simply by revelation, but He chose to learn by His own personal experience."

It definitely brings a sense of peace to know that our Savior will always be there through any difficulties that we might have.

Lots of love to you all!
