You usually talk about things that are most important to you. Who a person is eventually makes its way out of their mouth. You talk about what you truly believe in. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena --who at best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievements, and who at the worst, if he fails at least while daring greatly. His place will never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

When you feel a lot of faith, why is that? Is it something you did, or something you prayed or did you just feel at times that you have a lot of faith for God to show up?

We all have problems, and ultimately each individual has to take responsibility for his or her own happiness. Since I have mentioned repentance, let me repent a bit myself—or at least do the confessing part and hope even now there is a way for me to make some restitution. Youth want to feel included and important, to have the feeling they matter to others.
Young people deserve to have true friendships—the real value of which, like our health, may never be realized until we face life without them.

I think that my problem was not that I had too few friends but almost too many. Let me cite just one case, which will be guilt enough for now. In we held in St. George, Utah, our year class reunion for Dixie High School. An effort was made to find current addresses for the entire class and get everyone to the reunion. In the midst of all that fun, I remember the terribly painful letter written by one very bright—but, in her childhood, somewhat less popular—young woman who wrote something like this:. I hope everyone has a wonderful time.
I have, in fact, spent most of those 20 years trying to forget the painful moments of our school days together. Now that I am nearly over those feelings of loneliness and shattered self-esteem, I cannot bring myself to see all of the class and run the risk of remembering all of that again. Have a good time and forgive me. It is my problem, not yours. Maybe I can come at the year mark. Which, I am very happy to report, she did. But she was terribly wrong about one thing—it was our problem, and we knew it.

I cannot help but wonder what I might have done to watch out a little more for the ones not included, to make sure the gesture of a friendly word or a listening ear or a little low-cost casual talk and shared time might have reached far enough to include those hanging on the outer edge of the social circle, and in some cases barely hanging on at all. Jesus said in his most remarkable sermon ever: And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?
I make an appeal for us to reach beyond our own contentment, to move out of our own comfort and companion zone, to reach those who may not always be so easy to reach. If we do less, what distinguishes us from the biblical publican?
How to Stop Worrying - 13 Practical Steps
That harvest is great and the laborers are few. One last piece of counsel regarding coming to Christ; it comes from an unusual incident in the life of the Savior that holds a lesson for us all. It was after Jesus had performed the miracle of feeding the 5, from five loaves of bread and two fishes. His grace is sufficient.
Peace to Our Souls
That is the spiritual, eternal lesson of the feeding of the 5, After Jesus had fed the multitude, he sent them away and put his disciples into a fishing boat to cross over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. The winds must have been ferocious from the start. Because of the winds, these men probably never even raised the sails but labored only with the oars—and labor it would have been.
By then the ship was caught up in a truly violent storm, a storm like those that can still sweep down on the Sea of Galilee to this day. But, as always, Christ was watching over them. He always does, remember?
Seeing their difficulty, the Savior simply took the most direct approach to their boat, striding out across the waves to help them, walking on the water as surely as he had walked upon the land. In their moment of great extremity, the disciples looked and saw in the darkness this wonder in a fluttering robe coming toward them on the ridges of the sea. They cried out in terror at the sight, thinking that it was a phantom upon the waves. Then, through the storm and darkness—when the ocean seems so great and little boats seem so small—there came the ultimate and reassuring voice of peace from their Master.
This scriptural account reminds us that the first step in coming to Christ, or in his coming to us, may fill us with something very much like sheer terror.
One of the grand ironies of the gospel is that the very source of help and safety being offered us is the thing from which we may, in our mortal shortsightedness, flee. For whatever the reason, I have seen investigators run from baptism , I have seen elders run from a mission call, I have seen sweethearts run from marriage, and I have seen members run from challenging callings. Too often too many of us run from the very things that will bless us and save us and soothe us.
Too often we see gospel commitments and commandments as something to be feared and forsaken. Let me quote the marvelous Elder James E. Talmage of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on this matter: Elder Talmage used the word succor.
