Trust in the Lord

Tonight I just finished reading a conference talk entitled "Learning to Trust the Lord." It was about a woman who was very frustrated with her trial and how she had sadness, anger, disappointment, and resentment toward the Lord for allowing her to not only lose a child but also her husbands loss of a job which led to serious financial difficulties. As she struggled with her challenges a friend told her that we are all here on earth to be proven and we will always have trials and struggles. She also told her that we all have some sort of trial and that our job was to endure it well.

 I really related to this story because it not only quoted my favorite scripture but also because it made me realize that everyone is given trials to be proven on this earth. It is not about what type of trial that we should focus on but on how we can endure it well so that we can be proven here on this earth. I know the Lord will never give me more than I can handle and that on difficult days I can trust in Him to find relief. My favorite scripture that I refer to often is; Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thy own understanding, acknowledge Him in all things and He shall direct thy path.
