I was recently going over the April Conference edition of the Ensign, and came across a talk, and a concept that made me stop in my tracks. In Elder Pearson's talk on faith, he teaches (reteaches?) that faith and fear cannot coexist. Like never before I realized that when, in those quiet moments I have to myself, if I feel "afraid" then I can't fully exercise my faith. In the few short weeks since I read that talk I've noticed a certain increase in my spiritual power as I take note of things that previously caused me "fear" I can now take to my knees and "faith" myself into action. Faith really is "small and simple" but it's finding out how we can harness it, each in our own individual and personal ways that makes the difference between optimizing our mortal probation and just living.
