TO WHOM SHOULD WE TURN TO IN TIMES OF TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS

I hope you had a wonderful Easter.

I have some good and difficult news to share. My brother's wife recently gave birth to a baby boy, which is wonderful. However, I've learned that the baby is now sick with jaundice, which is very concerning.


This situation has caused me to reflect deeply on faith and how we handle life's trials. It reminds me that there are times when our faith is tested, and we must decide where to turn for answers. Ultimately, the answer is God. Even Jesus and King David questioned God's presence in times of trouble, but God reminds us to "be still and know that I am God."


During hardships, let's acknowledge our loving Heavenly Father. When we ask, "Where are you?" Colossians 1:27 answers, "Christ in you, the hope of glory." By inviting the Lord to work in and with us, we find hope. In every desert of problems, there is an oasis of hope in Jesus Christ. This Easter, let us remember Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Savior, who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

Remember, in times of fear, doubt, or hardship, let us "be of good cheer" (D&C 68:6).

Remember 

1)  God will never  abandon Us (Hebrews 13 vs 5)


2) If you and l take and  trust and acknowledge God,he will direct our lives(Proverbs 3 vs 4-6)


3) God  loves each and every one of us unconditionally (John 3 vs 16)


GOD HAS PROMISED TO KEEP WORKING  IN YOU AND WITH YOU (Philippines 1vs 6)

Best,

Elder Mhondera.

A PRAYER FOR STRENGTH

A PRAYER FOR STRENGTH   Reflecting upon the journey of life, with its diverse paths and inevitable challenges, I am reminded of the constant support we receive in moments of need. The Book of Mormon offers profound insight through the experience of Alma, who sought strength from the Lord rather than deliverance from his trials. Similarly, as we navigate our own adversities, it is my sincere hope that we may all turn to the Lord and petition for the fortitude to patiently endure the difficulties that life presents. In Alma chapter 31, verse 31, we read, "O Lord, my heart is exceedingly sorrowful; wilt thou comfort my soul in Christ. O Lord, wilt thou grant unto me that I may have strength, that I may suffer with patience these afflictions which shall come upon me, because of the iniquity of this people." Furthermore, verse 38 states, "And the Lord provided for them that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst; yea, and he also gave them strength, that they shou...

SMALL AND SIMPLE WAYS

SMALL AND SIMPLE.     By Elder Mhondera   I have come to perceive that each day of our lives is replete with subtle miracles that frequently pass unnoticed. While we often seek extraordinary, life-altering events, such as discovering Lake Victoria or scaling Mount Everest, the very essence of being alive and having a loving Heavenly Father constitutes a miracle in itself, a truth we ought to reflect on continually. It is imperative that we demonstrate our gratitude to God for the abundant blessings and miracles He bestows upon us daily. These are not always momentous occurrences, but rather the minor graces that cumulatively lead to a more profound comprehension of God's love for us. Acknowledging these modest blessings has the capacity to transform our outlook and instill in us a sense of profound gratitude. As stated in Alma 37:6-7, "Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to...

LEARNING TO FORGIVE

Reflecting on the conversation between Jesus and Peter about forgiveness, I am struck by the disparity in how we approach seeking forgiveness from God versus extending it to one another. It seems we often readily ask for divine absolution while simultaneously holding onto resentment towards our fellow human beings. Each day, we pray for God's forgiveness, yet our hearts may remain burdened with anger. How can we truly expect to receive divine forgiveness if we are unwilling to forgive those around us? The Lord's Prayer reminds us to ask God to "forgive us our transgressions as we forgive those who transgress against us." However, we often struggle to embody this very principle in our interactions with others. Forgiveness is indeed pivotal to our spiritual journey and unlocks the many blessings the Lord desires to bestow upon us. Let us recognize the immense love and kindness of the Lord in our lives and strive to forgive one another for any wrongdoings, just as the Lo...
