100-10 = 90!

Day 90:
-Read: Mormon 8-9
-Mark: Mormon 9:11-12, 21

"The Lord will never forsake or abandon anyone. You may abandon him, but he will never abandon you. You never need to feel that you are alone."
~Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Something to think about: Mormon's ministry ends in these chapters. Pay attention to Moroni's warnings for our day. Righteousness sometimes seems to bring loneliness? Why are we not really as alone as we sometimes feel? In chapter 9, look for reasons why you can rely on the Lord.


I found this interesting that today's topic was what it was. I had kind of a rough, emotional weekend. I was feeling alone and homesick. I know I am never really alone, but it's hard not to conform to those feelings at times....it's what Satan wants us to do, and when we are feeling weak--he's the strongest. But what I realize is, the power of God is so much greater, and if we turn to Him in those moments of weakness: He can make them strengths! (See Ether 12:27).

Don't allow Satan to seep into your thoughts and destroy your self worth. You are a child of God and He loves you. He will never leave you alone, just like a good earthly father won't leave you alone. Just put your trust in Him and allow Him to do the rest (of what you can't do.)
