"Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which doth cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness, and hardness of heart, and blindness of mind, then shall the great and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you—yea, when ye shall call upon the Father in my name, with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then shall ye know that the Father hath remembered the covenant which he made unto your fathers, O house of Israel."
Ether 4:15
I like the idea of rending/tearing the "veil of unbelief" here. Tearing away the darkness to let the light in. It's hard sometimes because we raise those barriers ourselves, blocking out God and so much else, not trusting anything outside our own heads, and trusting those heads way too much even when we know that they are leading us to unhappy places.
If we are willing to look outside ourselves and allow the possibility in, or "no more than desire to believe" (Alma 32:27), then God can work with us and help us to see the truth. Let's let go of trusting in things that don't work, and turn to a power greater than ourselves for help. God is there and learning of his love and gaining his assistance will help our lives so much more than we will ever be able to improve them ourselves. Today, let's try tearing off that veil of darkness and unbelief and find the true light of God.
