"It's in the doing"
My friend Jennifer P. had this amazing quote on her blog, and I loved it so much I also wanted to write it on my blog so i could always remember it. It's from the Church News a couple of weeks ago:
"The Lord does help when we go to Him in times of need, especially when we are committed to His work and respond to His will. But the Lord only helps those who are willing to help themselves. President Dieter F. Uchtdort called such work the antidote for anxiety, an ointment for sorrow and a doorway to possibility. When our wagon gets stuck in the mud, God is much more likely to assist the man who gets out to push than the man who merely raises his voice in prayer- no matter how eloquent the oration. President Thomas S. Monson put it this way: It is not enough to want to make the effort and to say we'll make the effort...It's in the doing, not just the thinking, that we accomplish our goals."
Isn't that amazing????
