Abraham 3:25 And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them.
The loving God who allowed these tests for you also designed a sure way to pass through them.
Alma 7:11-12
Heavenly Father so loved the world that He sent His Beloved Son to help us. His Son, Jesus Christ, gave His life for us. Jesus Christ bore in Gethsemane and on the cross the weight of all our sins.

The statement that we are “willing to take upon [us]” His name tells us that while we first took the Savior’s name when we were baptized, taking His name is not finished at baptism.

“Love one another as Jesus loves you. Try to show kindness in all that you do,” she said softly, but clearly, “Try, try, try.”

The Savior is the rock upon which we can stand safely and without fear in every storm we face.
