Our Weaknesses Can Become Our Strengths

Do you struggle with a bad habit? Do you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over again? Do you feel inadequate to the challenges you face? Are you worried that your best won't be good enough?

You're not alone. A prophet in ancient America named Moroni had some of these same concerns. In reply to his worries, the Lord told him this:

"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." ~Ether 12:27

If we humble ourselves before the Lord and put our faith in him, he will strengthen us and we will be able to overcome our weaknesses. Through his grace we are made strong.

To the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., the Lord revealed, "Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me. I am Jesus Christ; I came by the will of the Father, and I do his will." ~Doctrine and Covenants 19:23-24.

Let us heed these words. Let us learn of Christ and do our best to be like him.

Be strong in your faith. Be humble. Overcome.
