Looking for answers

To follow up on my post from yesterday about looking for trouble, as I said my prayers last night I prayed that whatever message my visiting teachers shared this morning would help me feel better. This month the visiting teaching message isn't assigned, since it's from the Conference Ensign so they could have chosen anything. They chose one of my favorite talks by President Uchtdorf. I actually listened to it yesterday morning as I was getting ready, but this morning it brought a new message to sooth my aching soul. As a follow up to the discussion we were having they also shared a bit from a talk Elder Bednar gave a few years ago. Both messages were an answer to my simple prayer last night. If I only remember to look for answers, I will find them. Or they will find me. :)

"Most of us know that when we do wrong things, we need help to overcome the effects of sin in our lives. The Savior has paid the price and made it possible for us to become clean through His redeeming power. Most of us clearly understand that the Atonement is for sinners. I am not so sure, however, that we know and understand that the Atonement is also for saints—for good men and women who are obedient, worthy, and conscientious and who are striving to become better and serve more faithfully. We may mistakenly believe we must make the journey from good to better and become a saint all by ourselves, through sheer grit, willpower, and discipline, and with our obviously limited capacities."
