“7: Ponder,” Finding Strength in the Lord: Emotional Resilience

Ponder—Maximum Time: 5 Minutes

Individually think about what you have learned today, and consider what God would have you do. Read the quote below and write your responses to the questions.

“Save for the exception of the very few who defect to perdition, there is no habit, no addiction, no rebellion, no transgression, no apostasy, no crime exempted from the promise of complete forgiveness. That is the promise of the atonement of Christ” (Boyd K. Packer, “The Brilliant Morning of Forgiveness,” Ensign, Nov. 1995, 20).

Commitment Ideas:

  • Support someone you love with a change he or she is trying to make (see item 4 of the “Learn” section).

  • Pray for help with a habit you are trying to change.

  • Choose a behavior to work on and set healthy limits.
