It is wonderful to know we are loved and watched over by a Father in Heaven who is all loving and all powerful and wants each of us to succeed in our time here on earth and awaits our return home. He knows our strengths and understands our weaknesses and has blessed us with the attributes we need to be obedient and make the choices which will bring us to His teachings and enable us to accomplish what we have been sent to earth to do. We can succeed. ~~~ Heavenly Father placed us in this lone and dreary world to teach us what we need to learn so that we may become like Him. Our lives are changed daily by the incorrect decisions of others, by our own poor judgment, by the laws of nature, and by unforeseen circumstances in a world that was never designed to be fair. I have learned much from a book titled Why Did This Happen to Me? by Ray Pritchard. He says: “Sometimes we will face things for which there is no earthly explanation. In those moments we need to erect a sign that reads, ‘Quiet: God at Work.’ Meanwhile, hold on, child of God. Keep believing. Don’t quit. Don’t give up. Let God do His work in you. The greatest tragedy is to miss what God wants to teach us through our troubles.” We do not know how long we will live on earth or what Heavenly Father has in store for us. We must trust in Him, make the most of each moment, and use our talents and gifts to improve our lives and to serve others. President Thomas S. Monson has declared: “Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rains may pour down upon us, our knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly and keep the commandments. … “My beloved brothers and sisters, fear not. Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith.” -Elder Bradley D. Foster
