Hope All Things

We experience a lot of things in our everyday life. Some good, some bad. Most of times when bad things happen to me, I ask myself why they had to happen to me. What did I do wrong? Why me? I rarely complain to God.

Very recently, something happened and this time I felt calmer than before and blaming myself, I asked, "what does God want me to learn from this experience? Why is this event so important in my life that He let me choose to do this?" I didn't come up with any answers to those questions but it brought me serenity and hope instead of anger and disappointment. I guess that's what it really means to have true faith.

"We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things." -Articles of Faith 13- (Emphasis added)
