In this world today, we are often asked what we believe, because we have to have something we believe in otherwise this world seems dim and dark. We need a belief system, something to support us. In todays trials it's a necessity.
I came across the talk by Elder Jeffery R Holland from the LDS General Conference in April.
"Lord, I believe."
LOOK IT UP.

Shay's thoughts.
Often we lead our lives with what we don't know, but as I do that it makes me question what I do know.
If I change it to leading with what I do know, there is something firm to stand on.
This world changes so fast, mostly in way we don't want it to, ways we don't plan, and places our hearts don't want to believe. Sometimes it's difficult to understand why things happen, or why we are going through them. For me I struggle understanding why some prayers are answered and others seem to be forgotten, but then I am remember that I am living for the Lord, He is the one that has the map for my life, He's the one who knows me best, and knows how I can grow.
Growing physically is painful, you literally get growing pains. Why would spiritual growth be any different?
Start simple, stand the ground I have gained. I know that there is a God who loves me and listens to my prayers. He answers ALL of them, even if sometimes it's not the way I want or planned. He knows the way. I don't. I need to trust that.
Anyways, this talk is amazing. Take the time. If you are struggling with things in life, MAKE time for it. Making time makes all the difference.
It has for me, I promise it will for you.
If you don't believe, find something to believe in, it will bring a light into your life that you never thought could be there. The struggles don't stop, but the strength and support will someday come.
He promises.
Loves,
Shay!
