"There was no rain when Noah began to build the ark. There was no ram when Abraham got the sticks to sacrifice Isaac. There were not two personages when Joseph knelt to pray. First comes trial by faith, then your reward" (Thomas S. Monson). Just as these three prophets were all tried to see if they are faithfull, we are tried to see how faithfull we are. Just like Preident Monson said we are tried by faith, then comes our reward. We all have things that we have to deal with in our lives. This is our time for us to see how faithfull we are to our Father in Heaven.
He places us in these situations for our benefit. Our job is to learn from them and in the proccess of learning from them we are drawing ourself closer to our Heavenly Father. We are to look to him for help. He has created this test for us, so he knows the right answeres to it. We are able to study for it through the scriptures. This is an open book test and we can even ask te teacher for help. But first we have to show him that we are willing to learn. We show him by exercising our faith. Because once we do that we can recieve our reward.
