We Are Not Alone

We love the scriptures. We learn much from them and from the Spirit as we try to apply counsel from the scriptures to our own lives. 

“… for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning. (1 Nephi 19: 23)

“Yea, and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him. And we did take courage with our small force which we had received, and were fixed with a determination ... ” Alma 58:11-12

During challenging times, it is helpful and hopeful to receive reminders that we are not alone. We have received “assurances” that this is but a small part of our eternal journey together. We have received “peace to our souls.” We do have great faith and hope. We do feel courage as we face our challenges with “determination.”
