Comfort for a Struggling Parent

I don't know how many times I have turned to God in prayer, seeking an answer or help for myself or a loved one, and I have found that answer or comforting words of wisdom THE VERY NEXT DAY by opening the scriptures or reading what an apostle has to say.

Here's the comfort and answer I received today:

Elder Ballard says this about the Proclamation on the Family:

“Read it and strive to align your marriage and your family to its inspired, revealed direction from the Lord,” he says. “Then be the very best and act the very best you can. God will give you strength beyond your own as you strive daily to fulfill the most sacred mortal responsibility He gives to His children. Listen to the voice of the Spirit and the counsel of the living prophets. Be of good cheer. God did not place you on earth to fail, and your efforts as parents will not be counted as failure unless you give up.”

I love our leaders.
