PRAYER
One day I was feeling doubt enter my mind about something I got an answer to when I prayed to know what to do. The thought came to my mind this scripture that helped me gain peace back in my life again as to the answer I received at that time.
D&C6: 15 & 22
Behold, thou knowest that thou
hast inquired of me and I did enlighten
thy mind: and now I tell thee these
things that thou mayest know that thou
hast been enlightened by the Spirit of
truth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye
desire a further witness, cast
your mind upon the night that you
cried unto me in your heart, that
you might know concerning the
truth of these things.
This really hit me hard and humbled me because I had asked for help and got my answer and I needed to remind myself of that experience. Satan is the one casting doubts in my mind and I need to remember that.

I got this from the Gospel Doctrine Teachers manuel lesson 9 (2006)It is a quote.
Found in the Manuel from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
*Learning from our Trials:*
Elder Dallin H. Oaks said: :This story...shows the
goodness of God in
protecting Isaac and in providing a substitute so he
would not have to
die. Because our sins and our mortality, we, like
Isaac, are condemned
to death. When all other hope is gone, our Father in
Heaven provides the
lamb of God, and we are saved by his sacrifice".
President Hugh B. Brown said that God commanded
Abraham to sacrifice
Isaac because "Abraham needed to learn something
about Abraham.
The Lord revealed that we must be tried "even as
Abraham and his father
had with God. Abraham's father turned to God in
times of trouble, but
turned to Idol worship when things were going well
in his life.
Abraham, on the other hand sought God continually.
*Building a Strong relationship with God*
How can we make our commitment to God more
consistent, so that we seek
him in times of peace and comfort as well as in
times of Trial?
