Take heart, brothers and sisters. Yes, we live in perilous times, but as we stay on the covenant path, we need not fear.
The Lord is with us, mindful of us and blessing us in ways only He can do. Prayer can call down the strength and the revelation that we need to center our thoughts on Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice.
Jesus Christ lives. Our love for Him and His gospel dispels fear.
Our desire to “always have his Spirit” with us will push fear aside for a more eternal view of our mortal lives.
Think about it. When we are tentative in our commitments to the Lord, when we stray from His path leading to life eternal, when we question or doubt our significance in His divine design, when we allow fear to open the door to all its companions–discouragement, anger, frustration, disappointment–the Spirit leaves us, and we are without the Lord. If you know what that is like, you know it is not a good place to be. In contrast, when we stand in holy places, we can feel God’s love, and “perfect love casteth out all fear.”
If we actively trust in the Lord and His ways, if we are engaged in His work, we will not fear the trends of the world or be troubled by them
I plead with you to set aside worldly influences and pressures and seek spirituality in your daily life. Love what the Lord loves–which includes His commandments, His holy houses, our sacred covenants with Him, the sacrament each Sabbath day, our communication through prayer–and you will not be troubled.
Also included in this incredible talk are several scriptures that will really help you on your journey to overcome your fears.
I loved this talk! and was so excited when you made a post about it!
