The only thing to do in the hours where worry takes presence over sleep is to pray, pray, pray and maybe write. Though sometimes we may feel that the trials of life are too much to bear, I know that if we have complete, unwavering faith in Heavenly Father and in the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we will be blessed with peace and comfort. I know this to be true because while my mother has been extremely ill, I have prayed with a willing and fervent heart to feel that peace and comfort. I have never seen my mom this sick, so it is rather difficult to see her in pain and suffering because of illness, but I know that the Savior not only atoned for our sins, but He also knows our pains and afflictions. While it might seem that no one in the world knows our deepest heartaches, or physical aches, He does.
Because our loving Heavenly Father sent His son and His gospel has been restored, we are blessed to know that as Jesus walked the Earth and healed the sick and that because of the restoration of the gospel and the availability of true priesthood power, we can still be healed by Christ. He loves us and helps us to know that we are not alone even when it seems that no one is there or no one is listening. I know that the power of prayer is real and that as we pray, the Holy Ghost will speak peace to our minds and soul, that we will be encircled by the love of the Savior and Redeemer.
Though the Savior of the world was born in the lowliest of circumstance, He was the greatest and most perfect to be on the Earth. At this Christmastime, I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ who chose to give His life to me and you so that we may live again once more with our families, that we will be resurrected beings with perfect, healthy bodies. I know that because Jesus was born of a mortal mother, He truly did feel all of our pains and sorrows. I am grateful for all that I have, for the testimony I have, for my faith in the Lord and the knowledge that faith gets stronger. I know Jesus lives and loves me and that we have a loving and kind Heavenly Father.
Happy Sunday! Merry Christmas!
Cheers!
love, Maddie Violet
