What is one way you excel?
I have a strong voice.
Yes, that does mean it is loud.
In fact, when my husband drives with me in the car,
sometimes he covers his ear nearest to me.
Sorry, dear.
Every weakness has an opposite strength.
Those who are stubborn, are also steadfast.
(And my voice can be heard clearly without a mike.)
What are your strengths?
Strengths can open closed paths ...
Strengths identify open doors, show us light, and directions.
Strengths connect our head with our heart.

In October 2008, Elder Jeffrey R Holland encouraged listeners:
“Take heart, be filled with faith, and remember the Lord has said He ‘would fight [our] battles, [our] children’s battles, and [the battles of our] children’s children (D&C 98:37).’ And what do we do to merit such a defense? We are to ‘search diligently, pray always, and be believing[. Then] all things shall work together for [our] good, if [we] walk uprightly and remember the covenant wherewith [we] have covenanted (D&C 90:24).’ The latter days are not a time to fear and tremble. They are a time to be believing and remember our covenants. [sic]
“God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face. “[N]or will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man [or woman or child] upon the face thereof to be saved (Moroni 7:36).
"On occasions, global or personal, we may feel we are distanced from God, shut out from heaven, lost, alone in dark and dreary places. Often enough that distress can be of our own making, but even then the Father of us all is watching and assisting. And always there are those angels who come and go all around us, seen and unseen, known and unknown, mortal and immortal” (The Ministry of Angels, October 2008).
