Prepare to Meet Our Maker

We all face trials in mortality.  How do we get through them?  We prepare by filling our physical and spiritual storehouses.  There is no need to fear the future -- or present -- when we are prepared.  Physically and spiritually.

I love this recent quote by our prophet, President Russell M. Nelson.
"How can we endure such trials? The Lord has told us that “if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.” Of course, we can store our own reserves of food, water, and savings. But equally crucial is our need to fill our personal spiritual storehouses with faith, truth, and testimony.
"Our ultimate quest in life is to prepare to meet our Maker. We do this by striving daily to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ. And we do that as we repent daily and receive His cleansing, healing, and strengthening power. Then we can feel enduring peace and joy, even during turbulent times. This is exactly why the Lord has implored us to stand in holy places and “be not moved.”" -- President Russell M. Nelson,  April 2020 General Conference
Even during times of trouble we can feel enduring peace and joy through the power of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  By striving daily to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ -- we are preparing to meet our Maker, which is our ultimate quest in life.

Thank you for this beautiful reminder, President Nelson.

That's my two cents.
