Daily Thoughts

In the D&C I read that the Second Coming of Christ will be like a thief in the night to the wicked who will be taken unprepared.  But we need to be children of light so this will not be the case with us.  D&C 106:4-5 "And again, verily I say unto you, the coming of the Lord draweth nigh, and it overtaketh the world as a thief in the night— Therefore, gird up your loins, that you may be the children of light, and that day shall not overtake you as a thief."

In the Old Testament we read that if we are willing to turn to the Lord, He will turn to us.  Zechariah 1:3 "Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts."

A verse with a thought booklet tells us that we can rejoice in hope as we are patient during tribulation and continue in prayer.  We will all go through times of trial and difficulties, but if we'll pray to the Lord for strength and be patient as we go through the hard times, we can retain hope and joyfulness.  Romans 12:12 "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;"
