Become
In the talk by Pres. Nelson he asks us some questions:
Are you willing to let God prevail in your life? Are you willing to let God be the most important influence in your life? Will you allow His words, His commandments, and His covenants to influence what you do each day? Will you allow His voice to take priority over any other? Are you willing to let whatever He needs you to do take precedence over every other ambition? Are you willing to have your will swallowed up in His?
For most of us, the answer is usually a resounding “Yes!” But then hard things happen. Things we don’t understand or have answers to. So the true test in whether we can still answer “yes” without having all of the answers to the trials and circumstances that happen in our lives but keep an eternal perspective through the tough times.
This week, think about something you don’t know the answer to that is hard for you to accept. Talk to your parents about it or study it out in your scriptures and in prayer and ask God’s help in moving forward in faith and having peace in the not knowing.
