Faith is knowing/believing in things that you can't see and yet do exist. In Alma 30:15 it says that we can't know of things we can't see so we don't know that Christ exists.

On the contrary Ether 12:6 says "faith is things hoped for and not seen." There are a lot of things that we believe in or have faith in that we haven't seen or don't totally understand with our human minds and yet they are what makes us who we are and help us to do and become who our Heavenly Father wants us to become.

Satan is so real and we need to make sure we are worthy to have the Holy Ghost with us at all times so he doesn't influence our lives and what happens. Although sometimes he influences those around us we have to try harder to stay strong by doing what we have been asked to do to have the spirit with us to make it through sometimes.

Blessing: I have amazing friends that are able to help me when going through a hard time. God blesses me when He knows I'll need it the most. :)

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...
