It’s a measure of strength, single-mindedness, hope, determination, and endurance that consistently answers the Savior’s call for action.\u003cbr\u003e     Spiritual resilience is what allowed Daniel to walk into the lion’s den and prompted the boy Samuel to answer, “Speak; for thy servant heareth” (1 Samuel 3:10). It is the virtue that inspired Mary to testify with such grace and self-assurance. It is the wise resolve that kept Mormon morally clean despite his surroundings. It is the fearless trait that allowed David to stand his ground while holding nothing more than a rock and sling in his hands. Esther gathered her spiritual resilience through the support of her people before risking her own life to save theirs. Isaac climbed onto the sacrificial altar with more than blind obedience.\u003cbr\u003e     Each of these heroes had a spiritual resilience that anchored them in their trust of God. They were young, yet they were led by the Holy Ghost. They were inexperienced and imperfect, yet they were not overwhelmed by their role in God’s work. They all chose to take a confident step forward. Live or die, these young people must have made a decision similar to one spoken about some millennia earlier by the mighty prophet Enoch:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e      “Choose you this day, to serve the Lord God who made you.” (Moses 6:33)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e     An understanding of who Christ is, what He is capable of, what we owe Him, and what He wants for us can give us the resolve to follow Him and the endurance we need to weather the trials that come our way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af0f8b2 adeline-service-offering-title adeline-no-bottom elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"af0f8b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eGO AND DO\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8148fe5 adeline-no-bottom adeline-no-bottom-p elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8148fe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don’t need to integrate every program in an ideal way from the beginning. The ideal way forward for your family each week or each month is to do what the Holy Ghost advises within the revealed framework. The point is for us to focus on the goals taught by our prophet and move continually forward. How grateful I am for a new, inspired vision designed to bring each of us closer to our most helpful friends, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. Set a goal you can reach, reach that goal, then repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt doesn’t matter where you start. Your progress is measured by your actions. As you more thoughtfully and purposely turn your actions toward your Savior, the change in you becomes obvious. Your children need to see greater commitment from you. Children who believe their parents are trying to follow Christ are positively impacted whether their parents are just beginning or . . . well, let’s be honest—we’re all in the beginning stages relative to Christ!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love this scripture: “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46) If we ask for Christ’s help, we should do exactly what He tells us to “go and do.” It’s the most effective way to reach our highest goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChrist created the earth and all that is in it. At the beginning of each day He received direction from His Father on how to do so. He carried out His task one day at a time. He was never in doubt that His direction came from God. He never doubted the wisdom or sequence of the direction He was given. He did not assume the task was greater than what He could complete, nor should we.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e9e9eb adeline-service-offering-title adeline-no-bottom elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1e9e9eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eFOR I KNOW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dc1b03 adeline-no-bottom adeline-no-bottom-p elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1dc1b03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ll highlight five key phrases within 1 Nephi 3:7 to help you understand the building blocks of Nephi’s strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI will—Nephi was willing to promise.
