Totally needed to hear this today. We live in a world and time where there is so much fear. Learning how to navigate through these dark mists is critical to building Zion. Thank you for putting into words the things I am wrestling with on a daily basis.

I am facing a trail of waiting. I fall into fear too easily. But it is great to see others who have to daily choose faith. It means I am doing better than I think I am.

[@SteveGovern]

Choose faith. Faith as a choice like any other choice is a great thing to ponder. Thank you.

Brother Clark thank you for your writing assignment. I have been taught from heaven. I have listened to this talk at least 10 times now. If I watch this talk 203 more times I believe I will have these principles in grained into my soul. Thank you.🙂

[@randlynwilde6467]

How I needed Brother Clarks beautiful talk. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the lessons deliver in this powerful message. A great example of Faith was Nephi. " I will go and do what the Lord has command me to do because I know that he does not give commandments to the children of God without preparing a way to accomplish it. In contrast Laman and Lemuel did not have faith and complain all the time.

I Love This Short Direct Talk As I Totally Need It 🙏🙏🙏

[@JimboStepable]

What an insightful message about faith and fear. I feel like I’ve been riding the fear/faith roller coaster for nearly all of my life. This “writing assignment” has given me the ability to see how I can curb my fear by using it as a signal to turn humbly to the Lord and return to choosing faith. Thank you.

[@Sharon_Miller]

[@teribelleau137]

Excellent...So need this reminder...daily. 😊

[@BigMeanyVids]

Brother Clark I dunno if you are still teaching or reading this but this was an excellent talk. I'm going through it and pulling out a ton of excellent and thought provoking points for my own teaching and talks and further study. Thanks very much for accepting the challenge to speak way back in 2008 as it's still blessing lives today. Wonderful how that happens. Bet you never thought it would have such a lasting impact. :)

No início do discurso eu pensei sobre a origem do medo, fui parar na minha infância quando minha mãe atrasava para levar-me para a pré-escola porque ela estava ocupada terminando de ver o jornal de esporte na tv ou das poucas vezes que ela me deixara na escola até todos irem embora e eu ficara com a faxineira e eu estava em lágrimas me perguntando, o que poderia ter acontecido? Alguns medos eu consegui vencer. Aquele brinquedo que são grades em forma de pernas de aranha que escala até em cima e no meio tem uma haste vertical para escorregar. Passei a minha infância inteira indo e voltando com medo de escorregar, mas em algum outro momento já crescidinha para brincar em parquinhos, fiz isso. Eu gosto de passear com o meu cachorro, estou fazendo ele aprender a andar sem estar preso a guia. Eu o solto e digo : vai . Ele vai mais a frente pela calçada, olhando para trás o tempo todo como se perguntasse: Posso continuar? rsrs Eu mostro o meu braço em direção reta, para ele continuar e não atravessar a rua sozinho. Quando vem alguém pelo caminho ele retorna até mim e numa curva que ele me perde de vista, ele estica o pescoço pra me ver. É engraçado quando ele faz isso. Não precisamos sentir medo o tempo todo ou resto da vida. É bom quando a fé em Cristo nos ensina a substituir o medo e vencer
