Utmost Assurance

Often in life things just don't seem to work out in-spite of my best efforts.  Here is a promise I was reminded of in reading a conference talk today.  Elder Robert D. Hales, quotes President Monson and Joseph Smith, saying "'Sometimes we are too quick to judge the effect of our successes and failures'.  May I add, don't look at today's trials as eternal.  Heavenly Father does His work in the long term.  'There is much which lieth in futurity,' the Prophet Joseph Smith said, Therefore,..... let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and his arm to be revealed.'”  D&C 123 15,17
