Let me ask you this, Have you ever felt that no one is around that really wants to listen?? Or maybe, You feel that the pain of things is about to break you... I have learned that we just have to surrender, and fall to our knees. My sister recently sent me an amazing plaque that says, "When Life Knocks you to your Knees, You're in the perfect position to Pray." This is true. I have been knocked to my knees many times, and the only way that I have been able to find the strength to get up is to pray for help... "Prayer is the Passport to Peace." Life is hard, and when we turn our hearts and mind to our Father in Heaven, He will give us the strength to overcome that trial that lies before us. I had been praying for some help in different areas, and I felt that God hadn't been hearing my prayers, then one day I was searching for something to blog on and I found this....
This was sent as an answer to that prayer.. I know that if our Heavenly Father could speak to us face to face during our trials, he would most definitely tell us something like this! :) He is always trying to make us into something better then what we are, and that is what I learned that day. What a blessing it was for me that day, and I hope that someone out there will find the same answer and peace this brought to me. I love prayer, and I know that, "When life gets to hard to stand, (We must) Kneel!" :)
Thank you Elder Lund.. I needed that now.

Idk if you heard or not, but we lost a baby about a month ago.. and Have had ups and downs.. if you don't mind I would like to copy this so I can refer to it later... when I am down... I have heard that before that you are in the perfect position to pray... Thank you.
Courtney, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. That simply breaks my heart. Never lose the faith, and know that I am praying for you and for the continued healing in your heart and soul.
DeleteThank you for the great message, Elder Lund. I am currently learning about the LDS myself and reading this has been a blessing.
