"And now, their preservation was astonishing to our whole army, yea, that they should be spared while there was a thousand of our brethren who were slain. And we do justly ascribe it to the miraculous power of God, because of their exceeding faith in that which they had been taught to believe—that there was a just God, and whosoever did not doubt, that they should be preserved by his marvelous power."
Alma 57:26
Is it possible to overestimate the power of faith? I don't think so. I wonder how much more we would be able to accomplish, and how much better our lives would be, if we didn't doubt. So, how do you get to that point? I'm definitely not saying that I have the answers, but perhaps it is like other gospel principles... we learn it little by little, until someday our faith is strong enough to preserve us from harm and perhaps move mountains. :) We can start with little things, like believing that our day will go better if we read our scriptures, or that the week will go better if we go to church. We can believe in the power of prayer to focus our minds on what is important and to calm us in times of trouble. ... and, as we have faith in these small things, then our capacity for faith grows, and we feel the power of God more strongly in our lives. Believe that things will work out positively in our lives... and they will. We might not see what God sees, but we can believe and trust in his power to lead us to happiness. Today, let's rely on his guidance and start increasing our faith. :)
