Trust Him

In Ether 6:5-6 it says, "And it came to pass that the Lord God caused that there should be a furious wind blow upon the face of the waters, towards the promised land; and thus they were tossed upon the waves of the sea before the wind. And it came to pass that they were many times buried in the depths of the sea." Sometimes it is so easy to wonder why God lets us be tossed around and why things have to be so hard. Why can't he just ease up on us a little. It is often hard to see how these trials will ever help us. What good will come of me being sick, losing a loved one, not having friends. I think the best thing we can do when we run into these doubts is to just know that God knows what he's doing, to trust Him, and to know He loves you with an unconditional, eternal love. I had a friend who once said that when he's a dad he would want to protect his kids and make it so they were never hurt. He then went on to say that it shows a lot about how much God loves us knowing that He lets us go through these painful things. He must love us a lot and have so much in store for us if He lets us go through all the horrible things we go through in life. If we will put our faith in God, remember that He knows more than us, and know that He wants us to be happy and will help us to become the incredible person that he knows we can be, then in our times of furious winds and trial, even though they will be painful, we can know that everything is going to be okay.
