Godly Power

President Russell M. Nelson began his talk, Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives, by mentioning the "Challenges, controversies, and complexities [that] swirl around us." He went to to say that, when facing the hardships and confusion of mortality, we would have help:

Yet our Heavenly Father never intended that we would deal with the maze of personal problems and social issues on our own. God so loved the world that He sent His Only Begotten Son to help us. And His Son, Jesus Christ, gave His life for us. All so that we could have access to godly power—power sufficient to deal with the burdens, obstacles, and temptations of our day.

This, to me, is an encouraging reminder that we're not alone. God still cares about us. And though we are sometimes more distant from Him than either of us would like, we still have access to a portion of His power, and this "godly power" can help us get through the seemingly impossible struggles of life. Life is hard, and the physical and spiritual challenges we all frequently face can seem insurmountable, but God gives us the power we need to overcome. We can "deal with the burdens, obstacles, and temptations of our day," even though it frequently takes "godly power" to do it.
