"You can choose to see a trial as a
roadblock or an expressway.
If you see it as a roadblock, it will obstruct your way.
However, if you see it as an expressway, you can use it to learn and grow."
"The gospel of Jesus Christ is the plan whereby we can become what God wants us to become. In fact, we become great people because of our trials, not in spite of them."
Adversity is one of the most misunderstood of the gospel principles, yet it is critical to our eternal progression. We are more prone to not understand it when we ourselves are going through it.
This booklet reviews the nature, origins, and purposes of adversity and includes suggestions on how to patiently trust in the Lord and His eternal plan and how to use these trials to learn and grow stronger.
You can benefit from your trials if you:
-
Develop a relationship with God and let Him carry your burdens.
-
Let others help you.
-
Trust that the Lord is in control and allow His will to be done.
-
Remember that everyone has challenges.
-
Let adversity make you a better person.
-
Live with integrity, be patient, and make the best of your situation
-
Serve others.
-
Keep a positive attitude and an eternal perspective.
