3 | We have heaven as our aide. In this talk, President Oaks says, “we have God’s assurance that, in the long view of eternity, opposition will not be allowed to overcome us.” This doesn’t exclude us from the stumbling blocks of sorrow and sin, but the tools for triumph have been given to us, and we have an army of angels at the ready. For learning and guidance, we have scriptures, modern day prophets, personal revelation, and other resources. For comfort and solace, we have prayer and human connection with friends, spouses, and family members. And for the inevitable missteps, we have the Atonement of Jesus Christ, perfect and all-encompassing, so that we can repair our hearts and paths. The Holy Ghost can be our guiding light in every decision, our companion through every hardship, and our comforter as we endure.
