Having faith means trusting that even when you cannot understand, God knows what is best for you in the long run. Passing through trials enables growth, but the support and progress will come gradually, not all at once. The pain and difficulty experienced during trials will persist because growth does not come easily. If all problems were instantly resolved, there would be no room for personal growth. God and His Son care for you deeply and only allow as much difficulty as necessary for your growth and the good of your loved ones.
Are Nephi and Isaiah speaking to their day or ours? Dr. Camille Fronk Olson explores the historical context of Assyria and Babylon to address the need for trust in Jesus Christ, to follow the Covenant Path, and to prepare for the Second Coming.
