Submitting to the will of God

“The burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord” (Mosiah 24:15).
The Lord could have removed the burdens of Alma and his people; instead, He strengthened them to bear “their burdens with ease.” Notice that they did not complain but submitted cheerfully and patiently to the will of the Lord. Write about the humility it takes to want immediate relief and yet be willing to have a burden lightened gradually.*
What does it mean to submit to God? How do you submit?*
How do you feel about submitting willingly and with patience to the Lord’s timetable of change?*
How can you gain the courage to keep trying until you are free of your burdens?*
