Trials can produce resentment or discouragement. The humility you and I need for the Lord to lead us by the hand comes from faith. It comes from faith that God really lives, that He loves us, and that what He wants—hard as it may be—will always be best for us.
I promise you that whatever trial is breaking your heart tonight, the Lord is aware of you. Every struggle has purpose. You may not see His hand until you are looking back on this pain from years in the future, but He is with you now. Trust His timing & His unending love for you.
It’s really unfair that some people don’t have an unhealthy obsession with food and have the self control to not eat an entire container of ice cream at once
“Patience means active waiting & enduring. It means staying with something & doing all that we can—working, hoping, & exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!”

“As the Lord is patient with us, let us be patient with those we serve. Understand that they, like us, are imperfect. They, like us, make mistakes. They, like us, want others to give them the benefit of the doubt.” -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
