TRIALS

 

"While you are passing through your trials, the pain and difficulty that comes from being enlarged will continue. If all matters were immediately resolved at your first petition, you could not grow. Your Father in heaven and His Beloved Son love you perfectly. They would not require you to experience a moment more of difficulty than is absolutely needed for your personal benefit or for that of those you love."

- Richard G. Scott, "Trust In the Lord", Ensign Nov 1995

You brought me to the foot of
Your throne today.
You pierced my soul
And understood all I had to say.
You opened my heart
And whispered the
truths I needed to know.
I surrender
My sins, my all, in gratitude
Of the suffering You bore.
