  • [BABY CRYING]

  • Many of you are now passing through physical, mental, and

  • emotional trials that could cause you to cry out, "When I

  • have tried all my life to be good, why has this happened to

  • me?" Now, I wish to encourage those who are in the midst of

  • hard trials, who feel their faith may be fading under the

  • onslaught of troubles.

  • There seems to me no better answer to the question of why

  • trials come and what we are to do than the words of the Lord

  • Himself, who passed through trials for us more terrible

  • than we can imagine.

  • You may have seen the need for that foundation, as I have, at

  • the bedside of someone ready to give up the fight to endure

  • to the end.

  • If the foundation of faith is not embedded in our hearts,

  • the power to endure will crumble.

  • Sherman!

  • We're going to be late.

  • We've got to go right now.

  • Sherman, now!

  • Child, we've got to go!

  • Moroni, the son of Mormon in the Book of

  • Mormon, told us how.

  • He teaches the simple and sweet truth that acting on

  • even a twig of faith allows God to grow it.

  • That particle of faith most precious, and which you should

  • protect and use to whatever extent you can, is faith in

  • the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • You and I have faith that the way to rise through and above

  • trials is to believe that there is a "balm in Gilead"

  • and that the Lord has promised, "I will not ...

  • forsake thee." Curing does not come automatically through the

  • passage of time, but it does take time.

  • Getting older does not do it alone.

  • It is serving God and others persistently with full heart

  • and soul that turns testimony of truth into unbreakable

  • spiritual strength.

  • If we have faith in Jesus Christ, the hardest as well as

  • the easiest of times in life can be a blessing.

  • In all conditions, we can choose the right with the

  • guidance of the Spirit.

  • We have the gospel of Jesus Christ to shape and guide our

  • lives if we choose it.

  • We never need feel that we are alone or unloved in the Lord's

  • service because we never are.

  • We can feel the love of God.

  • The Savior has promised angels on our left and on our right

  • to bear us up.

  • And He always keeps His word.

  • His love is unfailing.

  • I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
