Passing Through The Eye of the Storm

I realize I have been in the eye of the storm and now am entering the other side. What will happen I don't know. I am really glad I had the quote I posted yesterday. That I won't experience a moment more difficulty than I need. I wish I didn't need so much, but it's at least comforting that I won't get any more than I must.


Seek Revelation and follow it. The last part of step three.
Spirituality yields two fruits. The first is inspiration to know what to do. The second is power, or the capacity to do it. These two capacities come together. That’s why Nephi could say, “I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded.” 2 He knew the spiritual laws upon which inspiration and power are based. Yes, God answers prayer and gives us spiritual direction when we live obediently and exercise the required faith in Him. Link Elder Scott
 
Thought Questions

  • When I receive revelation from God, how can I have the courage to follow it? 
  • As I read Elder Scott's complete talk what else can I learn about receiving guidance from the Lord?
  • How have I been applying faith and real intent in my prayers and in following the will of God?
Now I get to see what I am really made of and believe. I think that is why my storm is getting stronger.

  1. Dear Belle,
    I have been reading your blog since early January. My husband had an affair 3 years ago, which is over, but still has problems with porn. He sees it as a normal part of being male. I have been encouraged by your blog. Thank you for sharing your pain so that many can receive encouragement and hope from you. I will be praying for you and your family.

  2. Debbie,
    Thanks for your prayers and support. I really believe we have to support each other through this pernicious addiction. When our husbands are deep in the addiction they are clueless as to how it is affecting the ones that love them. I'll pray for you and your husband. Hopefully soon he will want to be free of it. Thanks for the comment it's nice to know someone is reading it and its helping.
