April 23, 2012- The Word of God

I know it's been a few days since I've blogged.  I get so discouraged and then just start putting it off.  And then eventually I am never writing again.  But my writing today without having written the past few days is me trying to develop faith in myself that I can do differently than I've done before- that I can do better.

Today I am grateful for the word of God.  This morning was a hard morning.  Woke up feeling so angry at myself.  Also felt fearful of teaching one of my classes.  But teaching that class made things so much better.  I LOVE to teach the gospel.  True doctrine, understood, changes not only behavior, but attitudes, hopes, and outlooks.

Jacob 2:8 reads:

And it supposeth me that they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, 

the word which healeth the wounded soul.

Nothing can calm my troubled heart like the word of God!  I am going to include a list of scriptures from the bible (BoM and D&C will have to come on another day) I have found particularly helpful in turbulent times.  Please add any you may have!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Matthew 5:44-45

Matthew 6:44

Luke 13:32-33

John 14:18

John 14:27

John 16:33

Romans 8:18

Romans 8:28

Romans 8:38-39

1 Corinthians 2:9

James 1:12

1 Thessalonians 4:18 pretty well sums up the point of this post!

What are you grateful for today?
