Future and Faith

So last night I was reading the Ensign and i came across a talk called "Face the Future with Faith" by Russell M. Nelson. I thought that this would be a good something to read since i have been a little frustrated and stressed by my life and the future lately. I ran into a couple scriptures in his talk that stuck out to me.

"I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up."   -D&C 84:88

"I , the Lord, would fight their battles, and their children's battles, and their children's children's,...to the third and fourth generation."   -D&C 98:37

All of these dependent on our faith.

"The future is as bright as your faith."  -President Thomas S. Monson

I still was kinda...frustrated i guess but then i had an epiphany!  How wonderful it is to be here right now! After having to wait probably forever in heaven just to come. I was probably freakin excited to come too. And finally i am! And what am i doing, sulking. I am finally here and i am given my short chance to do my best work, and to make the world better from me being here. Basically i slapped myself and said shape up! Having fear is not having faith. You can't have both in you at the same time. Besides all this crap here will be worth it. I will be rewarded.

"Into his everlasting light, into everlasting salvation; encircled about with the matchless bounty of his love;"   -Alma 26:15

Wow i take a lot of pep talks sometimes to get myself going. Oh well. You gotta train yourself sometimes.
