23 And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive. (Alma 7:23)
I really liked this scripture tonight.
Submissive is the key, at least one of them, to full recovery.
That scripture reminded me of what we read tonight:
19 For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father. (Mosiah 3:19)
Today seemed hard for some reason.
Not sure if it was being tired or starting a new week or feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything going on with work. But I was happy when Beck said she felt optimistic that in times past I may have let these feelings build up; this time, however, I’m thinking about it and trying to determine what’s bothering me and how I can adjust and “submit” to God.
I feel I can be more patient with the kids, especially Caleb.
I feel I really need to start the day early with spiritual connections.
I feel I need to pray during the day as I feel this weight.
I feel grateful to have such a wonderful wife who seemed to be feeling better today.
I feel grateful to have great kids who are healthy and strong.
I feel lucky to have the career that gives me so many options to succeed.
I feel better after reading and writing tonight.
I will pray to be more submissive and humble.
