10. “There are many kinds of challenges. Some give us necessary experiences. Adverse results in this mortal life are not evidence of lack of faith or of an imperfection in our Father in Heaven’s overall plan.

For those who think the trials they face are unfair, the Atonement covers all of the unfairness of life.”

Why This Matters:
Each of us face challenges, and each of us face them for a reason. Our trials and challenges are specifically suited to us, and the Lord is always watching over us, especially as we go through these hard times. With this knowledge we know that there is nothing we cannot overcome with the Lord's help. And we also know that things will always get better.
