Firm, steadfast, and immovable

I was feeling a little down and worried the other night about the future.. not just for myself, but for my kids (Cameron and future children).  How will they handle the situations they face?  How will I handle the fact that they are facing them?  

I said my prayer and got a bit emotional.  I was really worried.  And then the phrase, "stand firm and immovable" came to mind.  I felt so much peace after thinking that.

I searched on lds.org tonight, trying to find a talk given containing this phrase and I found this.  And I gotta say, I cried when I read it.  I could feel the Spirit witness to me that what Sister Jensen said is true.

I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church on the earth.  I know that the prophet is called of God and is His mouthpiece.  I know he will never lead us astray.  And I know that I should follow his counsel because it is what Heavenly Father would have me do.

I know that " The Family: A Proclamation to the World" is an inspired document that contains truths.  I know that families are important and that I, as a mother, have such a unique role in my children's lives.  I can be such a source for good and can be an example of love and compassion, as well as obedience and righteousness.

It is scary to think about what the future holds, but I think you're totally right about standing fast and immovable and building our families on the rock of Christ. Thanks for your words!
