FOOD FOR THOUGHT

"My dear brothers and sisters, don’t get discouraged if you stumble at times. Don’t feel downcast or despair if you don’t feel worthy to be a disciple of Christ at all times. The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try. We must try to believe. Try to learn of God: read the scriptures; study the words of His latter-day prophets; choose to listen to the Father, and do the things He asks of us. Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes p o s s i b l e—and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you" (Dieter F. Uchdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, November 2009).
