Make Life Meaningful

 There are times in one's life when it doesn't feel fulfilled. It doesn't feel like there's any meaning behind any of it. So, what are we to do when those feelings come upon us. What are we to do when we feel so lost and out of control that there isn't anything that can be done and we are lost. I'm not sure I have the answers to any of those questions.

I do know that looking to God has helped. God will never leave us alone. He will always be there for us. His Son Jesus Christ gave His life for us so we can return to the Father one day, blameless without sin marking us. For no unclean things can enter the kingdom of God.

It would be nice to always have the faith required to make it past this life. Sometimes I don't feel like I have the necessary faith to do that. I'm sure I'm not alone in these thoughts. There are billions of other people out there searching for the same thing I am looking for. Peace. Peace of mind, peace of heart, peace of soul. Someday I hope to be able to find this peace I speak of. It would be a great ally in my search for the truth.

I can only imagine what life would be like without famine, crime, war, or any of the many other things that afflict people in this life. There has to be a way to get past it all. A way to have a common goal among all of our neighbors in order to better improve ourselves. I just don't know what that plan of attack would look like. 

Look, I'm tired. Tired of second guessing myself. Wondering where I stand before God. How I'm doing in all of this life. Yet I continue to wonder because I haven't gotten an answer yet about any of it. I have to ask myself at times, is an answer really needed? Somedays I think it is necessary. Other days I don't care. Today, I care.

It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
