He Will Be Your Support

A scripture that stood out to me during my study was Alma 36:3. It is Alma the Younger speaking to his son, Helaman. He says “I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day”.

I love this scripture. If we put our trust in the Lord, we will be supported by Him through His atonement. What a great promise! As we come unto the Lord and put our faith and trust in His plan, we will have help in this life, and eternal life in the world to come. It doesn’t say that we won’t have trials, troubles, or afflictions, but that we will not have to face them alone. All we have to do is turn to the Lord, and He will be our support. I testify that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. I would like to challenge you turn to the Lord in your afflictions. I testify that He will raise you up.
