Thought for Sunday 3/2/14 - Thomas S. Monson on the blessing of prayer: From the very beginning to the present time, a fundamental question remains to be answered by each who runs the race of life. Shall I falter or shall I finish? On the answer await the blessings of joy and happiness here in mortality and eternal life in the world to come.... Long years ago the psalmist wrote: It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man: It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. (Ps. 118:8–9.) Recognize that faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other.... When the burdens of life become heavy, when trials test ones faith, when pain, sorrow, and despair cause the light of hope to flicker and burn low, communication with our Heavenly Father provides peace. These, the marks of a true finisher, will be as a lamp to our feet in the journey through life. Ever beckoning us onward and lifting us upward is he who pleaded, ..e, follow me. (Luke 18:22.) - Thomas S. Monson, Finishers Wanted, Engisn, July 1972, p. 68 Read the full talk here: https://lds.org/ensign/1972/07/finishers-wanted?lang=eng
