“The Savior of the world understands our mortal limitations,
for He teaches us how to feel peace and calm even when winds blow fiercely
around us and billowing waves threaten to sink our hopes. Waves of fear
distract us, causing us to forget God’s goodness, leaving our perspective
short-sighted and out of focus. Yet it is in these rough stretches of our
journey our faith can be not only tried but fortified. Regardless of circumstances,
we can intentionally make efforts to build our faith in Jesus Christ. It is
strengthened when we remember we’re children of God and He loves us. Our faith
grows as we experiment on the word of God with hope and diligence, trying our best
to follow Christ’s teachings. Our faith increases as we choose to believe
rather than doubt, forgive rather than judge, repent rather than rebel. Our
faith is refined as we patiently rely on the merits and mercy and grace of the
Holy Messiah.” – Lisa L. Harkness
