Such a Little Thing

I’m sure you don’t recall, but back in January I made some resolutions. Very few of them were feasible, but among those more serious goals was having meaningful prayers, and reading my scriptures every day. Admittedly, I haven’t been 100% successful in either. However, I have found that in making the attempt to pray and read every morning I feel added strength beyond my own. On those days I read and pray I feel less anxious, less frustrated, less sorry for myself, more patient, kinder, happier. Nothing has changed, but things that usually overwhelm me don’t. And for me, that is huge.

I am also rediscovering that the more I read, the more I enjoy reading, the closer I feel to my Savior, the easier prayer comes. Its so simple…almost too simple.

1 Nephi 17:41 “…And because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it, there were many who perished.”

It never ceases to amaze me how such a little thing can make such a difference. How Heavenly Father is just waiting to bless us, if we only give Him the chance.

Alma 37:6 “Now you may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass…”
