It takes Faith to find Joy.
With an understanding of the purpose of life, of our promised blessings…
let us be grateful that God allows us to struggle, to cry, and to feel pain.
Else how could we comfort others in their tribulation?
Let us be grateful to know about hurt and healing.
Else how could we know the Healer, the Great Physician, who invites us to come unto Him and be healed?
Let us be grateful to know about fear and faith.
Else how would we recognize the light of faith after the dark night of fear?
Let us be grateful to know about discouragement and encouragement.
Else how could we reach out and take another’s hand in empathy, understanding, and love?
Let us be grateful to know about offenses and forgiveness.
Else how could we ever begin to appreciate the Atonement?
Let us be grateful for His infinite love and hear in our minds and hearts His words of comfort: “What I say unto one I say unto all, be of good cheer, little children; for I am in your midst, and I have not forsaken you”

Prayer works. It does indeed call down the powers of heaven. It reconciles our will with the will of the Father. It consecrates even our most adversive experiences to the welfare of our souls. We may not be granted that which we desire, but we end up grateful with all of our hearts for that which the Lord gives us. And along the way we experience tender mercies over and over those unmistakable messages from Him: “I am here. I love you. You are living your life with my approval. Everything will work together for your good. Trust me.”
Even though we may not see, minute to minute, that we are moving forward and making progress, I believe we will be able to one day look back at our lives and see that we were, in fact, doing just what we needed to be doing at just the right time in just the right place. We can trust that the Lord will work in and through us.
I do not know all things, but I do know that the Lord works in faithful, prayerful
people to do according to His will. I know that by small and simple means are great things brought to pass.
Of that I bear testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Pray it causes miracles
God’s love is so powerful it reaches not just in our chapels, or temples, or homes,
it reaches us even in our prisons.

Acting on even a twin of Faith allows God to Grow it.

There is nothing more beautiful in this world than a woman aglow with faith, who has looked within herself and to the Lord for strength a woman filled with compassion and love, willing to serve and lift others everywhere she goes. We all have the ability to become that kind of woman. rejoice in who you are… and be a beacon, radiate the Savior's light to all within your sphere of influence. We have within our power the ability to rise up and influence the world for good….If we do, the richest of our Father in Heaven's blessings will be ours…
He's waiting to bless us. He desires to bless us.
…may we rise up and be powerful beacons unto the world, pointing the way to that eternal harbor of peace and safety. This is my humble prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
