We Never Walk Alone

This post is based on a October 2013 General Relief Society Meeting talk called 
"We Never Walk Alone by Thomas S. Monson." 

"You will one day stand aside and look at your difficult times, and you will realize that He was always there beside you." - Subheading states.
We were not placed on this earth to walk alone. What an amazing source of power, of strength, and of comfort is available to each of us. He who knows us better than we know ourselves, He who sees the larger picture and who knows the end from the beginning, has assured us that He will be there for us to provide help if we but ask.

We have the promise: “Pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good.” Of course, prayer is not just for times of trouble.

Allied with prayer in helping us cope in our often difficult world is scripture study. The words of truth and inspiration found in our four standard works are prized possessions to me. I never tire of reading them. I am lifted spiritually whenever I search the scriptures. These holy words of truth and love give guidance to my life and point the way to eternal perfection.

As we read and ponder the scriptures, we will experience the sweet whisperings of the Spirit to our souls. We can find answers to our questions. We learn of the blessings which come through keeping God’s commandments. We gain a sure testimony of our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, and of Their love for us. When scripture study is combined with our prayers, we can of a certainty know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true.

Said President Gordon B. Hinckley, “May the Lord bless each of us to feast upon his holy [words] and to draw from [them] that strength, that peace, [and] that knowledge ‘which passeth all understanding’ (Philip. 4:7).”

As we remember prayer and take time to turn to the scriptures, our lives will be infinitely more blessed and our burdens will be made lighter."

I testify that I know that Heavenly Father will never leave you. He is always by your side. You need to put your full trust and faith in him everyday and every night. Tell him that you are grateful for him to be apart of your life. He will always pick you up when you fall down. He always provide ways when you think there is no way. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Stay Tuned until next time.
