vertical mountain (alcoholic parents). Do you doubt that God would have provided a harness, rope, and pitons in order to scale the mountain? God loves us and we are His children. Why wouldn’t He?
When trials were handpicked for us, everything was taken into consideration: our strengths, what would really test us, what our limits were, and who would be helping us. Trials are given to test us to see if we will still believe, trust and love God. For example: Will a popular kid still need God? Will a bullied kid curse God? Will a sick kid hate God? Some would think being popular would not be a trial, but to some, it is. A trial is something that will test us to see if we will still love and counsel with God.
What obstacle are you facing right now and is it bringing you closer or farther away from God? Trials are here to test us and teach us certain lessons. The quest you are on may not be easy, or the trials that you are faced with might not be solved quickly. But each trial is specific to the person who’s going through it.
Focus inward on what you need to overcome, and believe God has given you the strength to do so. Beware, though, of the dragon who is trying to consume you with his fiery darts of lies. For he will want you to think you can’t overcome the trial placed before you or that the trial of others are easier and would be better for you. Satan wants us to lose our focus on our own path by being consumed by what others are doing on their path. Remember, each of us was sent on our own quest and given our own set a talents and strengths to overcome the obstacles that we would be faced with. Don’t let confusion and envy cloud your view of what you must do in order to return home.
There may be times on your quest that you have to scale a mountain (stand up for your beliefs) to reach a higher plateau in your life. You may feel there is no way you could accomplish this. When you feel this way remember two things.
First, God promised that you will never have a challenge, temptation, or trial placed upon you that you cannot handle as stated in 1 Cor. 10:13, “…who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
Second, before Heavenly Father sent us out on our own quest, God made sure we had every talent, strength, and gift we would need to overcome any trial or challenge that we would be faced with while on Earth. Our Heavenly Father knew that trials would test us and challenges befall us. But, He sent us prepared and He is confident we can conquer and return home.
My Quest for Knowledge
My quest for knowledge began thirteen years ago when I started having daily headaches. At first, my headaches were irritating at most. But then, over time, they got more and more severe. As the severity increased, my headaches started turning into migraines. Every migraine started off at the back of my head, came up and over behind my eye, causing my eye to be slightly blind, and then culminated in vomiting for two or three hours. This pattern of headaches every day, and migraines two or three times a week continued for thirteen years. The pain was so excruciating and exhausting that, at times, my feelings toward God started to go sour.
I prayed every day that my headaches would go away and that I’d be able to find someone to assist me in relieving this pain. But, alas, my headaches continued. I searched out every doctor, massage therapist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, and energy worker that I could find to rid myself of these headaches. But, nothing worked. Day after day, I’d wake up suffering, sometimes cursing God for this trial. I felt it was too hard for me to bear.
Then, one day, I asked my husband to give me a blessing. A blessing is given by someone who holds the priesthood of God and is inspired to tell you what God wants you to know in that moment. In this particular blessing, my husband said something that
