Instead of going down rabbit holes that lead to dark places I go down rabbit holes that lead to faith.
Be strong like unto Moses. —Nephi
For when I am weak, then am I strong. —Paul
I’m strong because the Lord turns my weaknesses into strengths when I have faith in him. He doesn’t take away my pain but makes me stronger to endure and bear my pain. It’s a miracle.
And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
I’m strong. The Lord makes me strong because of my faith in him.
“Choose to believe and stay faithful. Take your questions to the Lord.” —Russell M. Nelson.
I want to believe. I have faith. Lord, help me.
And thou shalt continue in calling upon God in my name … And it shall be given thee in the very moment what thou shalt speak and write. … Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but endure them, for, lo, I am with thee, even unto the end of thy days.
I feast on the words of Christ and pray to God continually and believe the good things I say to myself are given to me in the very moment. God is my friend. He has never forsaken me but has been with me throughout my life. I follow my heart and obey promptings.
Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For I [do] liken all scriptures unto [myself], that it might be for [my] profit and learning.
