". . . Having seen many afflictions in the course of my days
Nevertheless
Having been highly favored of the Lord."
This is one of the treasures of this Book of scripture. Adversity is a part of life. It comes to all but the Lord will be with us in all things.
This has certainly been my experience. If anything, those difficult experiences of our lives offer an opportunity to bring us close to and help us feel the presence of the Lord.
This was a beautiful way for Nephi to begin a book that is filled with adversity.
To exercise faith is to trust that the Lord knows what He is doing with you and that He can accomplish it for your eternal good even though you cannot understand how He can possibly do it.
Please learn that as you wrestle with a challenge and feel sadness because of it, you can simultaneously have peace and rejoicing.
Richard G Scott, Oct 1995
