D&C 98:14 -- On Enemies and Worthiness

"Therefore, be not afraid of your enemies, for I have decreed in my heart, saith the Lord, that I will prove you in all things, whether you will abide in my covenant, even unto death, that you may be found worthy."
Doctrine and Covenants 98:14


This is a good scripture for when we need some perspective.  So often, our troubles threaten to overwhelm us because we are hyper-focused on them  This scripture basically tells us that we can take a step back, remember that all things have their purpose and place in God's will, and look for a way to conquer the situation rather than fighting (or running away from) the person.

Today, let's work on being grateful for, and taking advantage of, the opportunities that God gives us to improve and prepare, rather than getting annoyed when things are less than ideal. :)
