“It’s in the nature of a fallen world—where the devil rages
and everyone is imperfect—that there will be disappointments and offenses,
suffering and sorrow, failure and loss, persecution and injustice. It’s only by
looking to God that individuals, families, and even nations can flourish.
President Russell M. Nelson taught, ‘Because the Savior, through His infinite
Atonement, redeemed each of us from weakness, mistakes, and sin, because He
experienced every pain, worry, and burden you’ve ever had, as you truly repent
and seek His help, you can rise above this precarious world.’ No promise is
repeated more often in Book of Mormon scripture than this: ‘Inasmuch as ye
shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye
will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence.’ The lived
experience of the Book of Mormon peoples over centuries demonstrates the truth
of these words.” - Elder D. Todd Christofferson
