Faith

This week was Zone Conference. It was great. We talked about how we need to have more faith in the work. I have been thinking alot about faith lately and what it actually is. And I have decided through scripture study and prayer that faith is more than just belief. It is actually very deep and implies alot. So, as I need to apply more faith in finding I need to do ALOT. I was reading in Mormon the other day about faith. I believe it was mormon 9. When it talks about miracles and things like that. and twice he says we must believe, NOTHING DOUBTING. So, that is what started me thinking about faith this week, and then it happened to be the topic of zone conference. It is great how that always seems to work out. So, in application to my missionary work, and you can apply to your lives for whatever situation you are in, but in my case, involving missionary work I decided that often time we pray for things, to find wonderful families to teach especially, and we pray thinking we have faith, but then after the prayer, we go to work, and start letting doubt creep in. Saying things like...there are not families home at this time, these people wouldn't be interested, etc.....lame doubts like that, and that is not FAITH. Doubt and faith do not exist in the same sphere, it is impossible. So, in order to have faith we need to doubt nothing. When we ask God to bless us with things we need to trust and actually believe He will give it to us, doubting nothing. I am sure Joseph Smith had no reservations or doubts when he went to the grove to pray, and he recieved his answer. We can have the same answers, if we will pray the same way he did....with FAITH, nothing doubting. Well, that was my lesson for the week that I thought I would share with you. Just take sometime this week to evaluate your faith, do you really have it? If not, fix it, start trusting in your Father in Heaven, and really believing He will answer your prayers. Because He will, if you let him by not doubting. Sometimes it just takes some patient perserverance, if you know what I mean. Well, the week was good, we worked hard, and have FAITH that the Lord will bless us for our efforts, that He will begin to trust us and lead us to those families He is preparing to receive this gospel. Thanks for reading, thanks for your prayers, they are much needed and appreciated
