The Undaunted Defenders

3 Nephi 4:8-10 And it came to pass that the armies of the Nephites, when they saw the appearance of the army of Giddianhi, had all fallen to the earth, and did lift their cries to the Lord their God, that he would spare them and deliver them out of the hands of their enemies.

And it came to pass that when the armies of Giddianhi saw this they began to shout with a loud voice, because of their joy, for they had supposed that the Nephites had fallen with fear because of the terror of their armies. 

But in this thing they were disappointed, for the Nephites did not fear them; but they did fear their God and did supplicate him for protection; therefore, when the armies of Giddianhi did rush upon them they were prepared to meet them; yea, in the strength of the Lord they did receive them.

When we face daunting challenges, as we all occasionally do, we should remember to turn to the Lord, as the Nephites did. Instead of fearing our problems, we should trust our God and call upon Him for help in overcoming our challenges. In the strength of the Lord, we can overcome anything the world throws at us. It may take time. It may take an eternity. But if we stay on the Lord's side and never give up, we can overcome any challenge, even our most daunting ones.
