Alma 32:33 "And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment [about exercising faith], and planted the seed [faith], and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow, ye must needs know that the seed is good."
I am supposed to discuss my feelings with a leader, but since I do not have once, I will share some thoughts here. For me I've never had a difficult time believing in a Heavenly Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. My personal challenge with faith is in overcoming fear. I am naturally prone to worry over everything, and I wish I had complete control over every situation and circumstance in my life, but that would defeat life's purpose. When that fear creeps in, it quietly and quickly suffocates my faith. I have noticed over these past weeks that the more I fervently prayed to my Heavenly Father about everything, even my fears. The closer I get to God, the less often I get anxiety over my circumstances. One scripture that has taught about faith, that isn't in the recommended reading is 1 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
