Following these most basic teachings, a splendor of connection to Christ opens up to us in multitudinous ways: prayer, fasting and meditating on his purposes, savoring the scriptures, giving service to others, Above all, loving with "the pure love of Christ". We all need to have a more straightforward personal experience with the Savior's example. What is most important is personal experience, true discipleship , and the strength that comes from experiencing firsthand the majesty of His touch.
Whatever struggles or trials we are going through, we need to first come to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Trust in heaven's promises. "I do know, that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions"(Alma 36:3)
The Savior's atonement lifts from us not only the burdens of our sins but also the burden of disappointments and sorrows, heartaches, and our despair. From the beginning, trust in such helpo was to give us both a reason and a way to improve, an incentive to lay down our burdens and take up our salvation. There can and will be plenty of difficulties in life. Nevertheless the soul that comes unto Christ, who knows His voice and strives to do as He did, finds a strength. He is not going to turn His back on us now. He knows the way out and He knows the way up. He knows the way because He is the way.
If you are lonely, know you can find comfort. If you are discouraged, please know that you can find hope. If you are in poor in spirit, know you can be strengthened. If you feel you are broken, please know that you can be mended. May we all, especially the poor in spirit, come unto Him and be made whole
