Alma taught his son, Shiblon, about the benefits of trusting
God, also. To Shiblon, Alma shared a
brief account of his great life-changing experience. He testified, “I did cry unto [the Lord] and
I did find peace to my soul.” That
feeling of peace that is so readily available for the asking helps us to
cope. It’s like a breath of fresh air
that allows us the gathering of new strength.
Trust in God and prayer are important partners in our attempts to cope
with life’s zingers.
Trust in God is developed by
- Prayer
- Obedience
- Acting on promptings of the Spirit, which increases your trust in your own ability to recognize them.
Once you’re confident that you can recognize the Lord’s
will, give Him a try. The blessings that
will come from that kind of obedience will bolster your confidence in the Lord
until trust in Him develops.
