We Wait Upon the Lord

This past session of conference has moved me more than any other. The one talk that has remained constant in my mind is that of Robert D. Hales. I don't know if it was because of how sick he looked or how much I needed his talk but I am thankful that he was healthy enough to deliver it. "Why are trials so hard?" This is a question that i have asked myself time and time again, for it seems as if they are never ending. His statements are simple yet powerful. One that struck my mind was when he said, "too often we pray for the patience we want right now." This remark caused me to think about all the things I ask for and often expect right away. But, we must remember that it is all in God's timing. "His blessings are not temporal, they are eternal." Many of the answers we seek, we may have to wait for the hereafter for. We are beloved of the Lord more than we know, and He knows us better than we know ourselves. We must live our lives with patience in His plan and that He will do whats best for us. No matter what we may be going through, no matter how hard, it will be for our good. Thy will be done.
