I love this quote from Elder David A. Bednar, "Pray for strength to learn from, change, or accept our circumstances rather than praying relentlessly for God to change our circumstances according to our will."
We all experience hardships and times of trial. Have you ever found yourself praying that God would take the trial away from you? I know I have. It is important to remember that the Lord can see more than we can, He can see the big picture. The hard times may not be but fun, but someday we will look back and be grateful that we experienced them because we learned so much.
