"Doubt not, Fear not"


I've been trying to read something spiritually uplifting each morning. Maybe the scriptures, a article in a church magazine or other publication. Kind of a morning devotional of sorts! It has been inspiring and uplifting. I thought I would post something today that helped me! It is taken from an Ensign article by Elder Anthony D. Perkins, "The Great and Wonderful Love" November 2006.

"place your burdens on Jesus Christ. When you feel overwhelmed by expectations and challenges, do not fight the battle alone. Follow the example of small children, and drop to your knees in prayer.

Jesus Christ has commanded us, “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.” Doubt, fear, and worry indicate we have taken all of life’s burdens and anxieties on ourselves. When plagued by thoughts that you are inadequate, confidently say, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Then as you “cheerfully do all things that lie in [your] power,” you can rest assured that the Lord will do the remainder and things will work out all right.

The Savior promised, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” As you “cast [your] burden upon the Lord,” you will feel the peace of the Spirit."

Make it a GREAT day! I love you, Diane
