Honestly acknowledge your questions and your concerns, but first and forever fan the flame of your faith, because all things are possible to them that believe.
Observation 1 regarding this account is that when facing the challenge of faith, the father asserts his strength first and only then acknowledges his limitation.
When those moments come and issues surface, the resolution of which is not immediately forthcoming, hold fast to what you already know and stand strong until additional knowledge comes.
The 2 observation is a variation of the first. When problems come and questions arise, do not start your quest for faith by saying how much you do not have, leading as it were with your "unbelief"
In this church, what we know will always trump what we do not know. And remember, in this world, everyone is to walk by faith.
Last observation: When doubt or difficulty come, do not be afraid to ask for help. If we want it as humbly and honestly as this father did, we can get it.
GOOD THOUGHTS
SHARING OUR THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND DESIRES WITH GOD THROUGH SINCERE AND HEARTFELT PRAYER SHOULD BECOME TO EACH OF US AS IMPORTANT AND NATURAL AS BREATHING AND EATING.
SEARCHING, PONDERING, AND APPLYING THE WORDS OF CHRIST AS TAUGHT IN THE SCRIPTURES WILL BRING WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE BEYOND OUR MORTAL UNDERSTANDING.
ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS WE CAN OFFER TO THE WORLD IS THE POWER OF A CHRIST-CENTERED HOME WHERE THE GOSPEL IS TAUGHT, COVENANTS ARE KEPT, AND LOVE ABOUNDS.
SEARCHING, PONDERING, AND APPLYING THE WORDS OF CHRIST AS TAUGHT IN THE SCRIPTURES WILL BRING WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE BEYOND OUR MORTAL UNDERSTANDING.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO STRENGTHEN OUR LIVES AND REMAIN FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE FOUNDATION OF THE SAVIOR IS TO WORTHILY PARTAKE OF THE SACRAMENT EACH WEEK.
WORTHILY PARTAKING OF THE SACRAMENT STRENGTHENS OUR PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THE FOUNDATION ROCK, EVEN TO JESUS CHRIST
ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS WE CAN OFFER TO THE WORLD IS THE POWER OF A CHRIST-CENTERED HOME WHERE THE GOSPEL IS TAUGHT, COVENANTS ARE KEPT, AND LOVE ABOUNDS.
Obedience to the law of chastity will increase our happiness in mortality and make possible our progress in eternity.
simply stated, there are lessons we must learn and experiences we must have.
As we seek to increase our love for God and strive to love our neighbor, the light of the gospel will surround and uplift us.
