the peace of the gospel.

    You know that person that teases you in just the right way that it annoys you? And they are well aware that it annoys you. But the only reason it does is because they know you, and therefore they know how to push all the right buttons to thoroughly aggravate you.
    There is someone who knows us each very well, he's one of our brothers and he knows just exactly how to get under our skin. He knows how to hurt us and what hurts us. He knows how much we think we can handle, and pushes us right past that. His name is Satan. He is not our friend.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ however provides us with a relief from Satan's constant attack. As our relief society teacher said today "There is peace to be had no matter what is going on in the world: the big final stressing you out, the heart breaking events at home, or the boy who just won't give you the time of day." and as my bishop said, "You may feel anxiety; that will go away. You are in the right place, you are where you are supposed to be." 


Jesus Christ knows us. He knows exactly how we feel, because he's felt it. Literally. The gospel does provide peace. 


Don't give into Satan. Recognize his influences. 

Follow and invite the light of Christ into your life.
