3 Mar 2013: CES Devotional

Elder Bednar talks about being completely submissive to the will of Heavenly Father. He relates an experience where he was asked to give a blessing of healing and was prompted to ask the question beforehand,

"Do you have the faith NOT to be healed?"

For those of us who are struggling and want specific blessings, the hardest thing to endure is being accepting of not receiving what you want. To accept the answer, "Not now."

These are the experiences that break us and leave us simply asking that we have the strength to endure the trial that we are experiencing. That we say, as Christ did, "Would that I drink the bitter cup and not shrink."

For those of us who are struggling with trials that seem to have no end and no seeable benefit, this is a talk that is surprisingly insightful and uplifting.
