It is a hard question to answer when people ask why God allows bad things to happen to good people. There are a lot of things that we don't understand in this life, why we must suffer when we are righteous and why when we are doing all we know how we go through trials. But it's important to remember God has a purpose for everything and we need to pray to Him to learn the lessons we are meant to.

- How often do we sit and do nothing and expect the Lord to bless us or to take away our pain and suffering without us doing any work?

"i will leave the strength and the blessings of God upon them, that none other power can operate against them-"
-That is a powerful statement and we need to believe and gain a better understanding of God and His power that can influence our lives every day.
"And this because of their exceeding faith, and their patience in their tribulations-" (Alma 60:25-26)
-How can we gain and have more faith and patience? It's hardest to have it when we are going through tribulations but it is asking us here to have it then.

Blessing- The Lord blesses us and speaks to us not when we are ready but when we need the revelation the most.

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...
