Don't Let it Destroy You

Today I want to share a "I'm a Mormon" video. This one touches my heart especially because it is about a solider and his survival and how because of the events that took place, he was changed. He let his experience define him, not destroy him. This man's name is Erick, and this is his story: Erick's story.

I just wanted to share Erick's story because when I found this video it made me stop and realize that hard things happen, but that doesn't mean we can't move on, it doesn't mean we can't be happy, it doesn't mean we have to be "destroyed", rather we can be "defined". Erick's story brought me peace and comfort. His story was something that I needed at this time in my life to help me remember that Heavenly Father is watching out for us and He is always there to watch over us and protect us. Don't let the challenges of this life tear you down permanently. Let them build you up, make you stronger, and bring you closer to Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. Don't let them destroy you.

To any of you who are feeling lost, alone, or helpless: I want you to know that you are not. You are not lost, you are not alone and you are not without help. Our Savior Jesus Christ loves you. He wants to be there for you and all you have to do is ask and let Him in. I know that if you pray: He will answer you. If you allow prayer into your life and you allow prayer to change your heart toward God, and you allow His voice to speak to you: you will find the answers you need, no matter how big or small. You are not alone. He will send angels to guide and protect you. There is nothing in this world that you face that Christ has not faced or felt before you did. He understands you perfectly. He loves you perfectly. I know this is true.

In the name of our Savior Jesus Christ,
Amen

Love,
Samantha
