When a Cloud of Darkness Overshadows You


Over the past couple of months I've been overwhelmed with the many different changes and trials currently in my life. I've lacked the spirituality that usually brings me so much peace and joy despite hard times. Awake early this morning, I was wanting to know how to get rid of this dark cloud that seems to be overshadowing me. As I was about to start getting ready for the day I thought, "I need to read my scriptures." I randomly selected  Heleman Chapter 5 in the Book of Mormon and read:

"And it came to pass that the Lamanites said unto him: What shall we do, that this cloud of darkness may be removed from overshadowing us?

And Aminadab said unto them: You must repent, and cry unto the voice, even until ye shall have faith in Christ, who was taught unto you by Alma, and Amulek, and Zeezrom; and when ye shall do this, the cloud of darkness shall be removed from overshadowing you."


It is still a wonder to me that by just by opening the scriptures and reading, God can speak to me and help me in my individual struggles. I know what I have to do,  now I just need to do it and have faith that Christ will remove this cloud of darkness.
