Pure and Simple Faith

This year for relief society our theme and focus is coming closer to Christ by learning to be like Him. We were given a list of Christ-like attributes and told to focus on a new one each month until the end of the year. For January I chose Patience and Faith. I would like to talk about Faith. I have realized that I have always had a testimony of paying my tithing and that by doing so because it is what God has asked, I have been taken care of. I have found that my financial needs have truly been met because I was willing to give a part of what I have back to God. My faith has always been strong in that area. But what about all areas, do I have faith in God about everything in my life? I am in my last semester of Dental Hygiene school and I have been struggling, I often doubt my abilities and second guess whether I am where I am supposed to be. There is a lot of stress and pressure and responsibility that comes with this training and graduating from this school and it is difficult. I always pray to my Heavenly Father and tell him that I trust in Him and His will and that I want to do what He see's best for me. But looking at it now, do I really have faith that I can get through this time in my life? I say I trust Him but is my faith complete? And then I answer myself. If I am constantly doubting, then no, I don't have faith, I don't completely believe He can help me succeed. Which is why this attribute was a good place to start. I came across this video about having pure and simple faith. We don't have to make things complicated, all we need is to ask, believing that he can help, and then do something about it.

"Whatever problems we encounter, there is always a way that it will be solved as long as we put our trust in God and trust in His power. If we exercise faith in ALL that we do he will provide a way to accomplish it."
