Facing the Trials



       We all have faced some sort of trial in our life. Some of us are even going through one right now. Some of these trials and challenges we face leave us to become depressed or feel that we have not done what we should have. Some of the trials may include financial issues, argueing with loved ones, loosing a loved one, having to face someone that we have offended or have offended us, and so many more. Sometimes we are lost on what we should do, we have done all that we can and yet we still feel that we havn't progressed. It may seem that our own friends and family have left us alone.
      We face trials in our life to test us on how we fallow God's commandments. Our Father in Heaven allows us to go through these trials to help us learn and grow from them. Even when we can't figure out what lesson we are to learn, there is something that can benifit us from it. It may even be that someone else might be going through something like what we are, we are going through it so that we can help them through our expierence. Or maybe its just for us to learn from.
      Alot of us have asked the question "Why is this happening to me?" The scriptures say 'first comes trial by faith, then comes your reward' We are tested first then we can recieve our reward. When the times get tough we are to look to our Heavenly Father for guidence. He is the best person we can turn to to help us through the trial that we are facing. Allways look to Him for help, for only he knows what we are to do.
      "Whoever puts their trust in God will have him with them." (Paul V. Johnson, LDS General Conferance April 2011)
