The Power of Keeping Covenants
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we can find strength by keeping our covenants even when faced with challenges. Heavenly Father is more concerned with our growth as disciples than our comfort. By leaning in with faith during difficult times, we gradually receive His light, strength, love, and peace. It is not a race, and we should not compare our journey to others. Even when we stumble, the Savior is always there.
Acting in Faith Amid Hard Times
As disciples, we must take action in faith, especially when facing adversity. Like the two lepers who sought healing, by acting in faith, they were cleansed. If taking action feels impossible, reaching out for help can be a first step towards hope. Instead of getting weighed down by sadness or discouragement, we should strive to open the door, act with faith in Jesus Christ, and trust in His power to guide us.
