| Let Faith Guide Your Life |
Jesus Christ performed many miracles during His ministry. He caused the blind to see, turned water into wine, calmed a storm, and even raised people from the dead.
The Bible and Book of Mormon give us many example of faith in Jesus. Mark chapter 5 in the Bible tells the story of a woman who had suffered a serious illness for 12 years. As she saw Jesus in the crowd, she believed if she could just touch His clothing, she would be healed. (See verses 24–34.)
As Jesus asked, “Who touched my clothes?” the woman fell at His feet and admitted what she had done. Jesus comforted her, saying, “Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” And she was healed.
We can learn from Jesus’s example of faith in God as well, which shows that sometimes faith means accepting God’s will for us even when it is difficult.
Before He suffered for our sins and died a painful death on the cross, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane that if it be God’s will, He be spared from what was coming. “Nevertheless,” he prayed, “not my will, but thine, be done.” And God sent an angel to strengthen Jesus as He fulfilled His mission as our Savior. (See Luke 22:42–43.)
As you work to grow your faith in your personal Savior Jesus Christ and in a loving God who knows what is best for you, you will see blessings. Missionaries can teach you how to strengthen your faith. |

| A Seed of Faith |
As He taught His disciples about the power of faith, Jesus compared it to a tiny mustard seed, which, when planted, can grow into a large, strong tree. He said, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matthew 17:20).
Similarly, your small “seed” of faith can produce much larger miracles with God’s help. |
