Sometimes we may feel that to give gratitude is to be naïve to the problems and difficulties we face. Certainly for some who seek to be grateful without the help of God, this can often occur. However, when our reason for gratitude is God, we need not avoid the problems and difficulties for we shall not, but rather give the time we dedicate to fear and doubt over to he who has power in all things. Our gratitude comes because we
Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all things which the Lord can comprehend. - Mosiah 4:9
This, our belief, will guide us to be more sincere in heart, our belief in God will not only give us power in word but also in deed, it will take the focus off our weakness, our sense of nothingness, and shift us toward the goodness and long-suffering of our God (Mosiah 4:10-11).
Putting our trust in the Lord, will cause us to keep his commandments and continue in faith, this pattern will allow us to rejoice and be filled with the loved of God and always retain a remission of our sins.
This, our knowledge, will encourage us to engage in living peaceably with our brothers and sisters and help us do to our neighbor that which God would have us do in his wisdom and order.
