I believe in miracles! When life is the darkest, the light is closer than we think.
When we are in the midst of a crisis and are praying hard for help, why are the Heavens sometimes silent? Where is God? Should we feel sorry for ourselves? Or get angry and think God has abandoned us?
What we do is critical.
God loves us and he's always listening. Sometimes he pulls back to test our faith. Will we believe in him and still stand strong no matter what? Will we continue to trust him?
When we don't give up, the miracles happen and the blessings start to come.
"O God, where art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy hiding place?
How long shall they hand be stayed, and thine eye...behold from the eternal heavens the wrongs of thy people and of thy servants, and thine ear be penetrated with their cries?
My son, [daughter] peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high:" D&C 121
I'm a believer in miracles too, Diony. Miracles do happen. You and I both know how they do.
ReplyDeleteThat last verse you quote from D&C 121 is one of my favorite scriptures. I think about it all the time.
