I know that throughout this process I have talked a lot about faith. Faith in our Savior and a loving Heavenly Father. Faith in ourselves and the people in our lives. Faith that our prayers are being heard. Faith in eternal life. Faith in the power to overcome trials. Faith that no matter what comes our way, we can overcome it! We can succeed! We can change! Faith is such an amazing blessing that we have. I am so grateful for the faith that has been instilled in all of us from a loving Father in Heaven who knows how hard this life can be. Our faith can sustain us through any affliction. We need to have faith!
My life has been a whirlwind of emotions over the past 9 months. I have experienced feelings that I didn't know were possible to feel. Both good and awful. I have witnessed tender mercies that have literally changed my life. I have also witnessed pain and sorrow that has changed my life. I am still witnessing these things and now more than ever my faith is in our Savior. Remember, your struggle has already been struggled for you. Your pain has already been felt for you. Your addictions have already been suffered through. Our Savior, through His infinite Atonement has made it possible for us to overcome anything. Our faith in the atonement is our key to peace and happiness. There have been times that I have been tempted to give up. There have been times when I thought it was impossible to overcome. My mind has been tortured with thoughts of despair and anguish, leaving me feeling hopeless and alone. But through these difficult times faith has sustained me. Faith that somehow, someway the Savior can get me through this.
My faith is still so weak. How many times do we find ourselves worrying about the same things over and over again? How often do we find ourselves forgetting the blessings we have and how Heavenly Father has helped us in the past? My faith needs to be stronger! I need to cast out all fear and move forward in faith and hope. I want so badly for anyone who comes across this blog to know that the Savior lives and that we can have faith in the Atonement. Have faith that no matter how long it takes or how difficult it may be, we will make it! Everything will be ok if we have faith! The future is bright and our future must be filled with FAITH.
