Faith





“When you get to the end of all the light you know 
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, 
faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: 
either you will be given something solid to stand on,
 or you will be taught how to fly.”
― Edward Teller

Alma 32:21

And now as I said concerning faithfaith is not to have a perfect 
knowledge of things; 
therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, 
which are true.





Elder Neal A. Maxwell on Faith in God
---------------------------------------------------

"God watches the times and seasons. He knows your individual bearing capacities. . . .

"You can have full faith and trust in God, His mercy and goodness."


Come unto Him

 I wander through the still of night,
When solitude is ev’rywhere—
Alone, beneath the starry light,
And yet I know that God is there.
I kneel upon the grass and pray;
An answer comes without a voice.
It takes my burden all away
And makes my aching heart rejoice.

When I am filled with strong desire
And ask a boon of him, I see
No miracle of living fire,
But what I ask flows into me.
And when the tempest rages high
I feel no arm around me thrust,
But ev’ry storm goes rolling by
When I repose in him my trust.

It matters not what may befall,
What threat’ning hand hangs over me;
He is my rampart through it all,
My refuge from mine enemy.
Come unto him all ye depressed,
Ye erring souls whose eyes are dim,
Ye weary ones who long for rest.
Come unto him! Come unto him!
