What God DOES promise us...

I just read an article from last month's Ensign.  It was interesting, in that the person who wrote the article experienced several trying situations, even while acting on faith, that are still not resolved.
Some of the author's final words really struck me:

My business is still rebuilding; my brother is still gone. But what I’ve come to know is that God did not promise me wealth; He promised me peace. God did not promise to take my burdens from me; He promised to make them lighter. God did not promise to keep my brother from being subject to mortality; He promised that we would be family forever.

Amen.

    Uchtdorf 2013 April: "Your Heavenly Father knows that you will make mistakes. He knows that you will stumble—perhaps many times. This saddens Him, but He loves you. He does not wish to break your spirit. On the contrary, He desires that you rise up and become the person you were designed to be."
