When you feel overwhelmed by expectations and challenges, do not fight the battle alone. Follow the example of small children, and drop to your knees in prayer.

Jesus Christ has commanded us, “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.”¹² Doubt, fear, and worry indicate we have taken all of life’s burdens and anxieties on ourselves. When plagued by thoughts that you are inadequate, confidently say, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”¹³ Then as you “cheerfully do all things that lie in [your] power,”¹⁴ you can rest assured that the Lord will do the remainder and things will work out all right. – Anthony R. Perkins, “The Great and Wonderful Love,” Ensign (CR) November 2006
