His Grace is Sufficient

I've realized that life is not perfect, and I'm not perfect, and what a wonderful blessing that is. The month of march has been a hard one. I've thought a lot about the scripture Ether 12:27 "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, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things strong unto them." A lot of things this month have shown me that I can't be perfect, and I will admit that for a short time I was mad at God because I thought he wasn't answering my prayers, I thought he wasn't helping me. They always say that as long as you try your hardest, God will add his power to yours and you will not come up short. But in the moment I came up short, and I didn't understand, and I was frustrated. And what I realized afterward was that I have had my priorities all wrong. Obviously God cares about everything that I care about, but while somethings are good, some are more essential. And He sure proved that to me in the best way possible. And after that mini trial when I thought I was a failure, God lifted me up on his shoulders and he showed me that I do have a testimony and that I am not a failure. So really if you want to take something away from this, I want you to know that recognizing your weakness is an essential part of recognizing your strengths. So don't give up. And if in a moment you find yourself doubting God, because you feel he hasn't answered your prayers, hold on for a moment longer. God is working behind the scenes, and His plan is much better than any we could come up with on our own.
