-What are we (am I) doing to prepare to meet God? To stand at His judgment bar and be prepared to see Him again?

We are asked "have patience and bear with those afflictions, with a hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions." (Alma 34:41)

So we are asked to have patience and hope. These two things can be hard to have especially because we can't see the end, we never know what is going to happen, what we are going to go through or what we are preparing for.

Sometimes I think of this life as studying or preparing for a big test but we don't really know fully how to prepare for it. We just study all the material we can or want to and try to follow it to be like Christ. But it is hard to try to be like someone we don't know. So if we don't study the scriptures and study His life then we won't be able to be like him.

Blessing- I was able to get home safe last night!

Heber J.

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...
