{Feast upon the words of Christ} AND good food !

I testify that FAITH alone is not going to get us that divine help even though the 1st step is faith, we must act! We must do our part which is just so small in comparison to the rewards we receive [Mosiah 2:41,Alma 32:42-43,Jacob 2:18-19}. So great are our blessings if we just stick with it! We are not alone. We are never alone. Elder Holland,"I testify of angels both heavenly and the mortal kind. In doing so I am testifying that God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face." How powerful that is coming from God's chosen apostle at this time. Another talk from the same conference,Elder Lawrence E. Corbride," No institution, plan, program...ever conceived by men has access to the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the gift of the Holy Ghost, therefore,while the Lord's invitation to follow him is the highest of all, it is also achievable by everyone, not because we are able but because HE IS ABLE."

" The Lord's way is not hard...life is hard, but life is simple. Get on the path and never give up. You never give up. You keep on going. You don't quit,and you will make it."

I know I am here today only because of our Savior and Redeemer and through the power of the Atonement. As I was reading these talks they just spoke directly to me. I knew God heard my prayers because He answered them by directing my attention to these particular scriptures and this exact Ensign {magazine}. I want you all to know He loves us and is right there. Have FAITH, believe, stay on the path and apply the Atonement. Life is hard but it's simple. I am called to do the work of the Lord despite how inadequate I feel.

Elder Anderson said," We each have moments of spiritual power, moments of inspiration and revelation. We must sink them deep into the chambers of our souls. As we do, we prepare spiritual home storage for moments of personal difficulty." Then I recalled times that I felt His spiritual power which wasn't long ago that I felt peace and comfort. If we just look we can see how much the Lord's hand is involved in our daily lives and just how much spiritual guidance we receive. Sorry I shared so much But I was just so excited.
