Dealing with Adversity

Living the gospel has helped my family and me overcome temptation. I know that through fasting, paying tithing, and daily prayer, combined with hope in the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can overcome temptation.

But that doesn't mean that our lives will be free from adversity. I have also learned that the more obstacles we face, the more we can qualify for blessings and learn from our experiences. I like to think of adversity as the wind that blows a kite. The stronger it blows, the higher the kite can fly.
