Faith requires effort, but it is also the very thing that will move the mountains in our lives no matter how large they are. Faith is how miracles come, even though miracles may not happen in the timing we want or the way we expect. Faith is trusting the Lord even when we don't know how they will happen. Faith requires patience. Faith is an action word meaning we are doing something. Faith even as small as a seed can grow to become as big as a tree with care and action.
I have come to realize that faith in my savior has been how I have been able to forgive and give things to the Lord to do with it as he seems fit. Faith is how I have gotten through such darkness and suicidal thoughts to become hopeful for a brighter future ahead of me. My faith is how I got though a brain tumor, throwing up everyday for three years, it's how I got though finding out that I had cancer. My faith is how I became pregnant when I was told I never would and I know that it will be my faith that will bring a healthy child into this world although it will take many miracles for it to happen. It's my faith that tells me that I can do well in school to become successful even though school has always been challenging for me. Its faith that tells me that God is a god of promises and miracles so if he promises us something it will happen in his timing.
So next time you start to doubt the faith you have in the savior or in the gospel please take a minute to doubt your doubts. Satan knows what is in store for us and how to stop us from the things God has in store for us. So we have to use the faith that we have no matter how small to fight the doubts Satan will put into our lives to get us off track. But I promise that as you conquer your doubts with your faith that you have that blessings will come into your life that you never could have imagined. So if you are struggling please get on your knees to pray for strength, faith, and courage to continue on the path. If you have questions great go to the scriptures and conference talks to get your answers to the things you are wondering. After all we are a church of questions and they need to continue so that revelation will continue. There is nothing wrong about questions just do the work to get the answers you stand in need of. Go to the right sources for the answer you are seeking and I promise you that your faith will continue to grow.
