Day 41: Fear Not

With Jesus Christ you can do anything.

Know how many times I've heard that throughout my life? A lot. Most of the time I believe it. But sometimes, I don't. And those times I don't are the times I get the most discouraged. That's always the pattern. Lost a little faith, and feel despair a lot more.

In the midst of a trial it can be really hard to remember that Jesus Christ is there for us through the whole thing. It's hard to remember that he has felt everything I've felt when I'm feeling discouraged. He's the one who helped with this plan and gave me the opportunity to come down on this earth and find out who I really am. He knew the circumstances I would need to face in order for me to develop my character, to strenghen my spirit to the point where I am ready to stand in the presence of God.

Reading my scriptures and praying always make me feel good inside, and they make me feel stronger. Somehow Satan finds a way in from time to time and distracts me from what's really most important-developing myself spiritually. Satan knows that if I remember I have Jesus Christ at my side, he is powerless against me. And he knows that I've realized that I can dominate over him in the end. He knows he's going to loose. He just wants me to think that I'm going to, too.

But with Christ, I have nothing to fear.
