As I've been stressing out the past few days over school, and what to do with my life I've just kept thinking, Isn't there some simple thing I can do to help all this?Can I just stand up, twirl in a circle three times, and hop on one foot to have my problems go away? All my life I've been taught to read my scriptures, go to church, say my prayers, and on and on and on. But those things seem so simple. Could they really be the answer I've been looking for?
Since coming back to school I've rededicated myself to truly studying the scriptures and faithfully praying to my Heavenly Father about everything that is going on in my life, instead of simply reading my scriptures and saying my repetitive prayers. I've been amazed at the difference it has made. I've always believed in the scriptures and the power of prayer, but for some reason I continue to fall into lapses where I don't do them as often and as faithfully as I should.
As I was avoiding my homework today ;) I was thinking about this. And again thinking how nice it would be if there was some simple thing we could do to help us out in our lives. Like stand up, twirl in a circle three times and hop on one food! But then I began to wonder if I would faithfully do that, or would I again assume that something so simple wouldn't make a big impact in my life. I thought of the story in the Old Testament and I began to understand why some of the children of Israel wouldn't look at the brass serpent while they were suffering in the wilderness. Could something that simple truly heal them? It could and it did. And it will heal us.
