- Day 135
- Principle: Develop patience because life is full of challenges.
- Book of Mormon Reading: Alma 1:1 - 1:14
- Nehor was promptly put to death after killing Gideon. Why do some actions have instantaneous outcomes while others are slow to manifest?
- Read the following scriptures and ponder the importance of patience.
- Thomas S. Monson taught
“Life is full of difficulties, some minor and others of a more serious nature. There seems to be an unending supply of challenges for one and all. Our problem is that we often expect instantaneous solutions to such challenges, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required.”
–President Thomas S. Monson
