Discussion Question: Peace in the Mist
Lehi’s vision describes a "mist of darkness," but it also describes the Tree of Life. We often think joy is what happens after the trial ends. But because of Christ, we can have peace in the midst of the trial. You don't have to wait for the sun to come out to feel His warmth. Discussion Question: We often pray for the "mist" to be removed, but have you ever had an experience where the trial remained, yet you felt a distinct sense of peace anyway? What did that feel like? How can we practice finding "joy in the presence of God" today, even if our external circumstances haven't changed yet? For the full devotional, visit The Daily Joy Journal in Classroom.

I love this so much! For many years I would always ask to have my trials taken away from me. If God is all powerful he can taketh away just as He can give. When I was pregnant with my 4th son, I was so sick. Way sicker than I ever remember being with my previous pregnancies. I remember crying in bed asking the Lord to take this sickness away, I dont want it anymore. The words that came to my mind were as clear as day, I cannot take this from you, but I can make it lighter. Then the stories from the Book of Mormon came to my mind how the people were being held in bondage but their burdens were lightened. When I am in the midst of a trial I no longer ask to have it removed but ask to have my load lightened and my mind clear that I may see what I need to learn. Its not perfect everytime, but the Lord doesnt expect perfection He expects us to try. ❤️

Discussion Question: Seeking Wisdom vs. Understanding
Proverbs 4 teaches us that wisdom is the principal thing, but we must also get understanding. Wisdom is knowing the truth; understanding is the perspective of how that truth applies to our lives. We may have the wisdom to know God is there, but we need understanding to see how His timing is working for our good right now. Discussion question: It is easy to have the wisdom to say 'God is in control,' but much harder to have the understanding to feel peace while waiting. How do you practice 'getting understanding' when you're in the middle of a waiting period? What helps you see His hand when the clock seems to be moving slowly?

Waiting is extremely difficult. I love what Laura said, reminding ourselves He has gotten us thru before helps us remember he will do it again. I like to listen to music and read my patriarchal blessing to remind me that he has helped me in the past.

The Cost of the "Divided Eye"
Science tells us that multitasking is actually just "context switching," and it lowers our IQ in the moment. Spiritually, a "divided eye" leads to a dark, heavy soul. When we choose to focus on God’s kingdom first, our vision clears, and the "draining" feeling of a slow day begins to lift. For the full devotional, visit The Daily Joy Journal in Classrooms.

I love this! Never thought about multitasking in that way, but it makes sense. ❤️

Out of Tune vs. In the Master's Hand
The poem The Touch of the Master’s Hand describes an old violin, battered and scarred, that the crowd thought was worthless—until the Master played it. Sometimes we feel "drained" because we feel like that old violin—out of tune and overused. We don't need a new schedule; we need the Master's touch. The crowd saw a battered violin, but the Master saw a masterpiece in waiting. When you feel 'battered and scarred' by life's demands, how does shifting your focus from your 'worthless' feelings to the Master’s perspective change your outlook?

Lately I have very much felt the "battered and shattered" by life's demands, more so than ever. What's fascinating to me is that when I feel that, the spirit will whisper the name of someone who I should send a text to. It usually leads to a conversation that gets me out of my head, and being able to help that person in a way I wasn't expecting. Do I listen everytime...no, but the times I do listen, I remember the outcome to help me for next time those feelings come up.
