We Never Walk Alone

by President and Prophet Thomas S. Monson

 

  

 

WHAT?

There will be times when you will walk a path strewn with thorns and marked by struggle. There may be times when you feel detached—even isolated—from the Giver of every good gift. You worry that you walk alone. Fear replaces faith.

When you find yourself in such circumstances, I plead with you to remember prayer.

 

The Apostle Paul admonished:

“Let your requests be made known unto God.

“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:6–7)

 

What a glorious promise! Peace is that which we seek, that for which we yearn.

We were not placed on this earth to walk alone. What an amazing source of power, of strength, and of comfort is available to each of us. He who knows us better than we know ourselves, He who sees the larger picture and who knows the end from the beginning, has assured us that He will be there for us to provide help if we but ask. We have the promise: “Pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good.”(Doctrine and Covenants 90:24)

 

SO WHAT?

My sister is facing surgery tomorrow.  Naturally, she is feeling anxious about it.

 

NOW WHAT?

I read this scripture for our daily scripture study.  We are praying.  We welcome your prayers as well.
