Most of us experience periods in our lives where the
tranquil waters of life are appreciated. At times we encounter whitewater
rapids that are metaphorically comparable to those found in the fourteen-mile
stretch through Cataract Canyon — challenges that may include physical and
mental health issues, the death of a loved one, dashed dreams and hopes, and,
for some, even a crisis of faith when faced with life’s problems, questions and
doubts. Having questions and experiencing doubts are not incongruent with
dedicated discipleship. Stay in the boat, use your life jackets, hold on with
both hands. Avoid distractions! And if any one of you have fallen out of the
boat, we will seek you, find you and minister to you and pull you safely back
onto the Old Ship Zion, where God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ are at
the helm and will guide us right. – Elder M. Russell Ballard
