Faith

Yesterday in Primary we talked about Faith. I think I really needed to be reminded to have faith. We must exercise faith to take on life’s challenges and changes. It's how we learn and progress. Life’s challenges, can provide opportunities for us to grow as we exercise our agency in making righteous decisions. President Thomas S. Monson has counseled us that “faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other” In Moroni we read that “without faith there cannot be any hope” (Moroni 7:42). This is so true and I never really thought about it until yesterday. We can't have faith and doubt at the same time. Faith is a principle of action and power. Whenever we work toward a worthy goal, we exercise faith. We show our hope for something that we cannot yet see. I have faith that if we do the very best we can and follow Heavenly Father in faith, we will be happy and he will bless our lives.
