This week, as we studied the scriptures, one that stood out to me was John 14:16. In this scripture we read, “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.”
In these uncertain times that we find ourselves living in, it is nice to know and to be reminded of the promises that the Savior has made to us. If we follow Him, and try to live the life that He has led, we know that He will be there for us to help comfort us. But this scripture also reminds us of another Comforter that He has promised us, the Holy Ghost.
If we live our lives righteously, we know that we can have the Holy Ghost to be our constant companion and to help comfort us when times are difficult. He can help to guide us in the right direction and we can depend on him to confirm the things we learn as we study the scriptures.
With everything going on in the world today, and the uncertainty of what tomorrow will bring, it is comforting to read about the life of our Savior and be reminded of the promises He has made for us. If we focus on the good things in life and if we center our thoughts on the Savior, we can be comforted and feel peace in these trying times.
