"When you face adversity, you can be led to ask many questions. Some serve a useful purpose; others do not. To ask, Why does this have to happen to me? Why do I have to suffer this, now? What have I done to cause this? will lead you into blind alleys. It really does no good to ask questions that reflect opposition to the will of God. Rather ask, What am I to do? What am I to learn from this experience? What am I to change? Whom am I to help? How can I remember my many blessings in times of trial? Willing sacrifice of deeply held personal desires in favor of the will of God is very hard to do. Yet, when you pray with real conviction, “Please let me know Thy will” and “May Thy will be done,” you are in the strongest position to receive the maximum help from your loving Father." -Richard G. Scott Everything we go through is for our benefit. Heavenly Father knows us perfectly and He knows exactly what we need to go through to become the person we are suppose to be. Like many of you I am facing a very trialling and confusing time in my life. I have come to realize that it is so important, when you are facing trials, that you do not ask The Lord "Why is this happening to me?", but rather "What would you have me learn from this experience?" We you focus on this question your view of the situation becomes brighter and you are open to learning just what The Lord has in store for you to learn. Everything The Lord puts in your path is put there to take you to the person you meant to become. Trust in The Lord and trust that He will lead you to the right place at the right time.
