applepansy Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 This was a question our instructor in Gospel Doctorine class asked yesterday. Its made me think about what I truly do "hold on to" in the rough times in life. After sleeping on it. . . Trust me to make things more complicated than they are meant to be . . . I boiled it down to one statement. I hold on to my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is truly my Savior. now its your turn. applepansy Quote
jjrogers Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 I hold onto the fact that God would never ask me to go through something that was so hard unless it was truly for my good. Now, having said that, it doesn't cover consequences from my sins. Quote
Misshalfway Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 I think I am with you, Apple. For me it is the "Jesus, take the wheel" when life gets too hard. Quote

BenRaines Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Hemi beat me to it. The Iron Rod, which is The Word of God. Two of my favorite scriptures are the story of Job and the 122 Section of the Doctrine & Covenants. Art thou greater than he? Ben Raines Quote
jolee65 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Well im at my best in high stress situations most of the time if its death then not so much, But if it was death then I tune into the spirit and stay there, He gets me through. anything else I usually except guildance listening to that still small voice.

Guest Godless Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 I cling to all of the things that are still going right in my life in order to maintain a proper perspective and a positive attitude. I also have some amazing friends that I can turn to when things really get bad. Quote
applepansy Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Posted December 22, 2008 Hemi, you and Ben made the primary song pop into my head. . . Hold to the rod, the IIIIIrrron rod. . . . lalalalala Quote
BenRaines Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Not bad for a guy who never attended Primary. Well I had four kids that did. The vision as recounted by Nephi in the Book of Mormon should be used by all as a guide to what can happen when we let go of the Iron Rod or what can happen to us as we hold to it. Ben Raines Quote
HiJolly Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 I hold on to my knowledge that God loves me. HiJolly Quote
Truegrits Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 When things go awry for me, I stay true to the Gospel...knowing that Heavenly Father is with me, and will not abandon me. Quote
