Spiritual Reassurance

How can we receive ongoing strength and spiritual reassurance when life is hard?

My life has never been that easy. I have always had to fight for what I have wanted out of life. It is hard when the natural man seems to be fighting against you. Sometimes it seems so much easier to give in to temptation and to be honest there have been times in my life that I have given in, which in reality did not make things easier but only more difficult. I have received strength through Heavenly Fathers grace and atonement. Knowing of the atonement has helped me to see beyond the boundaries and limitations of this mortal life. It has given me hope and peace. "When words cannot provide the solace we need to seek, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding of the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and analysis are insufficient, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, then come the peace that only the Prince of Peace can give-truly, a peace that passeth all understanding." (David A. Bednar, Power to Become, 48-49) Peace can come in any circumstance, no matter how hard or difficult something may be.
