And now behold, we have come, and been forth amongst them; and we have been patient in our sufferings, and we have suffered every privation; yea, we have traveled from house to house, relying upon the mercies of the world—not upon the mercies of the world alone but upon the mercies of God.
(Alma 26:28)
it occurred to me that this is about faith; suffering is the material that faith is made of. Not all suffering is all that bad, sometimes it's just patience. The faith of the child grows in love, knowing their parent has a soft spot for them. Not getting everything you ask for is part of faith--learning to Trust that God won't necessarily grant your selfish requests but responds to your heart's desire. I love my Heavenly Father.
