Day 42: Believe

"I believe that each one of you has the power to change the world. Believe in yourselves. Believe that you are never alone. Believe that you will be guided."-Sister Elaine S. Dalton

Where I work teaches me a lot about the power our minds have, and the capacity we have to learn. This war we are fighting on this earth takes more than physical strength, we need mental strength. Satan is the master at figuring out our weaknesses and studying our habits. He then figures out the best ways to tempt us, to bring us down, to make us feel like we really aren't worth much.

But we are more powerful than him. We always have been, because we made the right choice before we even came down to this earth. That showed what strength we already have inside of us. Then we were brought to this earth and given a life that would continue to strengthen our spirits. Just like muscle that needs to be worked hard and broken down before it can strengthen itself to be stronger than it was before, we are the same with our spirits. We need to be brought down to our knees through trials in order for us to gather the strength we need to fulfill our role in this plan.

Heavenly Father never brought us down to this earth to fail. He brought us down to find ways to believe in ourselves and our spiritual capacity. We are his children, so we do have the potential inside of ourselves to be just like him. We have to believe we can do it, and believe that Jesus Christ can help us do it.
