Each of us will walk the path of disappointment, perhaps
because of an opportunity lost, a power misused, a loved one's choices, or a
choice we ourselves make. The path of temptation, too, will be the path of
each. Likewise shall we walk the path of pain. We, as servants, can expect no
more than the Master, who left mortality only after great pain and suffering. While
we find on our path bitter sorrow, however, we can also find great happiness. We,
with Jesus, can walk the path of obedience. We, like Jesus, can walk the path
of service. As a glowing searchlight of goodness is the life of Jesus as He
ministered among men. Jesus walked the path of prayer. He taught us how to pray
by giving us the beautiful prayer we know as the Lord's Prayer. And who can
forget His prayer in Gethsemane: 'Not my will, but thine, be done.’ – President
Thomas S. Monson
