2 Nephi 9
17 O the greatness and the ajustice of our God! For he executeth all his words, and they have gone forth out of his mouth, and his law must be bfulfilled.
 18 But, behold, the arighteous, the bsaints of the Holy One of Israel, they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel, they who have endured the ccrosses of the world, and despised the shame of it, they shall dinherit the ekingdom of God, which was prepared for them ffrom the foundation of the world, and their gjoy shall be full hforever.
 19 O the greatness of the mercy of our God, the Holy One of Israel! For he adelivereth his saints from that bawful monster the devil, and death, and chell, and that lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.
 20 O how great the aholiness of our God! For he bknoweth callthings, and there is not anything save he knows it.

God is good. God is great. One day I will be worthy of the many wonderful blessings he sees fit to bless me with. One day is not now. 

The Lord's Way - Elder Stanley G. Ellis

we are not spiritual orphans! We are not alone.
In fact, God has the way to live, 1 to love, 2 to help, 3 to pray, 4 to talk, 5 to interact with each other, 6 to lead, 7 to marry, 8 to raise children, 9 to learn,10 to know the truth, 11 to share the gospel, 12 to choose wisely what we eat, 13 etc. 5. 
Even with the universally accepted desire to help the poor and needy, the Lord concurs in our goal but warns, “But it must needs be done in mine own way” (D&C 104:16). Otherwise, in our efforts to help, we may actually hurt them. The Lord has taught us the need to promote self-reliance. Even if we are able to help, we should not give or provide what they can and should do for themselves. Everywhere it is tried, the world learns the evils of the dole. Truly God knows best.





I can figure this out. I can make this work. I don't know how but I will do my best.
