How do you handle failure?

Thomas R. Valletta

Elder Gene R. Cook taught: “Now the brothers had twice failed to obtain their objective. I wonder how strong our faith would be if we were in the same situation … .

“After two failures, Nephi still remained strong in the faith. Even when Laman and Lemuel were beating him, he believed. I ask, do you still believe when you are being beaten by life? Do you say to the Lord, ‘I do not know how I am going to do it, Father, but with thy help I am still going to accomplish thy will.’ Or, do you follow the example of Laman and Lemuel who doubted, murmured, feared, and gave up?” (Living by the Power of Faith, 46–47).
