It is Better to Look Up

This was a great talk for me. Things have been difficult with our special needs child lately and as I read this talk this week I was inspired to keep going and to have a better attitude. I was also encouraged by his words,

Experience has taught me that if we, like President Monson, exercise our faith and look to God for help, we will not be overwhelmed with the burdens of life. We will not feel incapable of doing what we are called to do or need to do. We will be strengthened, and our lives will be filled with peace and joy.3 We will come to realize that most of what we worry about is not of eternal significance—and if it is, the Lord will help us. But we must have the faith to look up and the courage to follow His direction.

Life will be getting more difficult in our family as my husband prepares to deploy this summer for another year. I know that the only way to get through it with peace and strength is to look to my Heavenly Father.
