I love Elder Holland’s talk also. We can always learn more about patience and afflictions, and his talk really touched me. I haven’t read any of Brene Brown’s books, but I’ve listened to podcast interviews and follow her on social media! She’s awesome.

Holland speaks to what you have written here. Also, you have helped me to understand that true joy requires patience in affliction. Patience can also mean struggle. We have to struggle through hard things in order to experience the joy our Heavenly Father has promised us. Often times, the struggle requires vulnerability to make it through. Have you listened to any talks or read any books by Brene’ Brown? She is an expert in vulnerability and the power that comes from it. I believe it is a divine characteristic we all need to develop because true repentance and forgiveness requires us to be vulnerable. To experience true joy, we have to be willing to be vulnerable when required by the Lord. Thank you for helping me remember this.

For sure, and thank you for your comment. There are so many times when He does want us to act and better our situation. But other times, I really have felt Him just staying by my side while I sit and wait!

God wants us to be patient in our trials and afflictions but he doesn’t want us to wallow in misery. If everyone had done that through this pandemic we wouldn’t have vaccines coming out for it now. He expects us to do what we can, to draw closer to Him, to serve others and yes, to be patient no matter what the affliction might be.

Great insight. It’s hard to step out of that comfort zone, but it will ultimately help you grow.

I usually do say “Thy will be done.” But guess what? I’m trying as hard as I can to solve a problem. I realize by your message today that I AM trying as hard as I can to get the solution to this challenge go in any way it can to keep me in a “Comfort Zone”! i just may have to endure more and your message not only reminded me, it strengthened me.
