My Rock

Helaman 5:12


"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."


This is one of my favorite scriptures in The Book of Mormon. And it was one of the first scriptures that I memorized with Rod when we were first married. It has helped me stay focused and not get lost in my depression and anxiety, which is so much better now, but affects me still every now and again. With depression it is hard to feel anything except alone and worthless and unable to do anything good in your life. I don't understand it and probably never will but I know on whom I trust and where I stand. I love my God and I love my life. And the better I understand my relationship to Christ, I can more easily feel the love he has for me:)
