"yes shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials." 
Alma 38:5
If i put my trust in God I will be able to overcome all things and accomplish all the things that He has in mind for me to do. I just need to follow my Saviors example and "be diligent and temperate in all things." Alma 38:10 Temperate- showing moderate or self-restraint. More things that I need to work on to be like my Savior. I also need to learn to bridle my passions. As I bridle my passions the Lord will better be able to help me through all of my trails and tribulations. 
In the talk "Bridle All Your Passions" By Bruce C. and Marie K. Hafen they say,
 "The Savior told the rich young man, "Sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and  ...take up the cross, and follow me " (Mark 10:21.) And Peter told teh Lord, "We have left all, and followed thee." (Mark 10:28.) These passages imply htat to follow the Savior is to live a life of self-denial, in which we renounce the human urge to be satisfied in favor of strict obedience to heavenly laws. Isn't that what the Word of Wisdom and fast Sunday and the Ten commandments are all about?"

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
