Day 30

Read: Mosiah 9-11

Mark: Mosiah 9:17, 10:10-11

“The enabling and strengthening aspect of the Atonement helps us to see and to do and to become good in ways that we could never recognize or accomplish with our limited mortal capacity. I testify and witness that the enabling power of the Savior’s Atonement is real.”
~ Elder David A. Bednar

In what ways do we depend on our own strength? How can we more fully receive the strength of the Lord?

*In most ways I depend on my own strength to "pull me through this challenge" or to "deal with it"  I usually fight against what I want and feel and what God wants for me until I am humbled by an experience or the pain is so great I can't go on.  Only after that do I surrender and let Heavenly Father take over.  Usually after I surrender the situation is solved, or I feel peace, or I know what I am do do.  It is so frustrating that I constantly do this to myself.  If I would let go in the first place I would have the fullness of the Lord's strength and my trial would not have to be so hard. I don't know why I do it, I am trying to have more faith and to let go. There are times in a day when I have to surrender several times.  Reading my scriptures every day is helping with having more faith.
