The Lord is fully aware of our efforts to serve Him and bring about much good in the world. However, that doesn’t mean everything will be easy. As we do our best to raise children in righteousness, carry out our callings, and love our neighbors as ourselves, we can be encouraged by the Lord’s wisdom to “not run faster or labor more than you have strength” (D&C 10:4).
Jesus Christ also invites us to “pray always, that you may come off conqueror” (D&C 10:5), helping us understand that we can always talk with Him about the problems we’re facing in life. We are not alone and should rely on Him in all things. As you study with your family this week, look for ways to help your family know that God loves them and hears their prayers.

Parenting is not easy. The experiences of Adam and Eve show that being a parent has never been without trials and heartache. Yet through raising their family, they learned true happiness comes as we try to follow Jesus Christ. Eve said without the pain that had happened in her life, she “never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth” (Moses 5:11).
At the start of each new year, parents plan out activities and events for their family to do during the next 12 months. We hope to make happy memories, build our children’s character, and provide a refuge of emotional and spiritual support during hard times that will inevitably come. We want the best for our family and hope that at the end of the year, we will reflect on how good a year it was.
God knew the purpose of His creation before He began His work. As He told Moses, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39). That purpose is the “why” for everything God does, including why He loves each of us.
