Trials

I may complain a lot of the time about my problems, but I know I'll get through them. I go through trials because I need to. It says I will go through many trials in my patriarchal blessing; one of the things that binds my faith to the Gospel. "I bless you with the patience and the understanding that trials are for your good, and that as you remain true and faithful, the trials will be for your benefit." Later, "Father has an additional caution and that is that I should bless you with the principle of patience -- that as you recognize that Father will bless you according to your needs, it will be in His time and of His season."

Those are the only two cautions/warnings in my 1 3/4 page blessing.

Luckily, there are many blessings included to help me with said trials. "I bless you that angels will be about you. As you go about your activities, angels will guide and direct you and give you direction to your life. You should call upon Father daily; cry unto Him for your sorrows, and He will be certain that His son, Jesus Christ, will be at your side. His atonement is for you, and the blessings of the atonement will be yours. You are promised that through His atonement you will not be alone in the trials of your heart, trials of your circumstances, and trials of your faith. The Savior will be at your side through all trials. That is promised with assurance."

So, I just need to be patient, not angry or upset. I should obviously pray more. I'm really grateful that I have something like this in my life. It has given me plenty of direction and will continue to do so, I'm sure.
