Lakewood Sisters,
Message from President Nichol Dowell
Dear Sisters,
In the Come Follow Me curriculum development set up so long ago, could the Lord have known what scriptures would help us navigate the trials today? Not just broadly, but the specific trials of this week? I say YES!
He knew when and where to place the star to guide the wise men to the infant King. He knew when to prepare us for Covid by preparing Pres. Nelson and inspiring new curriculum, And he knew that September would bring heavy hearts and conflict. And here is what I read straight from the scriptures this week:
D&C 101
16 Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and knowthat I am God.
He goes on to tell us what it will be like when Christ returns and all of our sorrows and worries are swallowed up in him.
I don’t know much, but I trust the Lord. I trust his love for us. I trust that he keeps his word, and have witnessed that in my own life.. and in His timing. I trust that He will right the wrongs and restore all things that have been lost. I trust His love for you and the people that you love.
We love you and offer support and friendship.
Turn to him. Read his words for you this week!
Love,
Nichol Dowell
