"And now I say that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever thing ye stand in need of,both spiritual and temporal; returning thanks unto God for those things ye do receive"
Such a wonderful scripture of the kind of attributes we should be striving for. It is such a blessing to have this guidance and to know what we can do to become more like our heavenly father. We are truly a blessed people.

"Just when all seems to be going right. challenges often come in multiple dopes applied simultaneously. when those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the lord feels you are prepared to grow more (proverbs 3:11-12) To get you from where you are to where he wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and generally entails discomfort and pain" - Elder Richard G. Scott

I love this thought. it gives a new side to trials We know that we need trials to grow and to become more like our heavenly father and we know that sometimes they come from choices we have made. I have never thought of it in terms of the lord feels i am prepared to grow. For me this gives them a whole new meaning and i am grateful for those opportunities.
