Hope

All people can endure pain. Both a continual pain like the death of a loved one or a very short pain like harmful words or bullying from a friend. It may hurt at times but I know that a better day will come. Everyone has trials. The lord knows your trials and he knows you can survive these trials. No one said you'd do it alone. Many a times you will have someone to help you along the way. Last nightI ran a mile for scouts and would have walked the final piece. I was too tired and I felt too slow and I didn't think I could do it. As I am thinking this, I start to slow down and I just walk.  Two of my friends came around the corner they had just finished there mile 10 or 15 seconds before I saw them they immediately came up to me and started running beside me. I had given up I had no belief that I could do it I had given up hope. I know though as surely as I am writing this that the lord was watching and that he had sent the spirit of the holy ghost to come unto my friends and influence their thoughts to come and run along side me. If it weren't for my friends belief in me I would have just walked and regretted not going the extra mile that I would have gone but I believe that I went through that just so the Lord could show unto me that he is always watching and that he has already gone through everything you have gone through that is why he atoned for our sins. Even though it seems hopeless the Lord provides a way just as Nephi said to his father in first nephi chapter 3 verse 7, " I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord given commandments unto the children of men save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them." Even Nephi the prophet knew that nothing is hopeless. That's the truth.
