I pray we may lay aside any 'weapons of war' that we’ve consciously or even unconsciously taken up to defend ourselves from the blessings of God’s love."3. "If you are struggling with a situation you think you should have overcome by now, don’t give up. Be patient with yourself, keep your covenants, repent often, seek the help of your leaders if needed, and go to the house of the Lord as regularly as you can. Listen for and heed the promptings He sends you."Watch General Conference Applied on YouTube hereShow notes for General Conference Applied episodes are located hereTo subscribe to Mitch's 'What? Eye.
