In reply to Karen E Heil. Thank you for sharing! It takes so much strength not to doubt our Heavenly Father through such tough trials like you've experienced.

When I think about the trials of our faith I think about Abraham God already knew what kind of a man Abraham was. But he needed Abraham to know what kind of a man he was. I look at the trials that I go through as the same thing. I have learned that I am stronger and more spiritually prepared than I realize. Probably losing my 19 year old son was one of the biggest trials I’ve gone through and yet not once did I doubt God nor his goodness. Instead, I embraced the gospel more fully realizing that my Savior knew that his daughter could handle this trial and that it would bring her even closer to Him.

Trials of faith. I’ve had my share and sometimes they seem pointless at the time but days, months, and years later I learn why I needed that trial.
Life to me is like going through one tunnel after another. You finally get to the light and you go around another bend and back in another tunnel. I grew up think that if I always do my best I would be okay. I mistakenly thought it meant no trials. So not true, but after every trial now I can see where the Lord was there guiding me to the light. The Lord loves us and wants us to be happy. I am slowly learning that I can be happy during a trial, as long as I’m willing to learn.
Thanks for your thoughts

Over the years I’ve heard a recurring theme from people who’ve gone through really hard trials that as they turned to the Savior they got to know Him and learned important truths like they might not of in other ways. I’ve experienced that myself too. Trials have motivated me to dig deeper into the scriptures, pray with more real intent, pay attention more to the words of our living prophets, and truly seek what Jesus would have me do
