Daily Thoughts

In the Book of Mormon I read that all men are priviledged to partake of the goodness of God, and no one is forbidden. Salvation is offered to anyone who will repent. 2 Ne. 26: 27-28 "Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance. Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but all men are privileged the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden."

In the New Testament I read that we should not be undly concerned about anything, but rather give thanks to God and make our requests known in prayer. If we do this, we'll feel peace in our hearts and minds through Jesus Christ. It does is no good to be overly worried over everything--we need to turn our problems over to the Lord in prayer and trust in Him. Philippians 4:6-7 "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell us that God is our rock, He is perfect, and we can trust in Him. He gives us strength, holds us up, and enlarges our feet under us so we don't slip and fall. Psalms 18:30-36 "As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God? It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip."
