Believe


"Believe in God; believe that He is, and that He created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that He has all wisdom and all power, both in heaven and in earth; that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend."
-Mosiah 4:9

I read this scripture and it hit me hard. Some days (like today) I feel like I can't do it anymore. I get sick of feeling sad and anxious and crying all the time. I don't understand why God gave me this trial. I don't know why I had to have a sick baby when everyone around me seems to be having healthy children. I don't understand why my baby had to die. I don't know why I was chosen to deal with this heartbreaking grief and anxiety. It's all so unfair. But I do know that God is good. I know that He has a plan for me that I don't understand yet. I know that He loves us and that even though it's hard, He wouldn't give us anything unless it will eventually help us become better and happier. It doesn't make sense to me now, but eventually it will and we will have immense joy. On days like this, that's all the keeps me going. Just believe.
