Faith is something I have been working on lately & I got this in my inbox today from LDS.org's Daily Gems. It is a keeper. I best like that "faith is more than mental assent, more that an acknowledgment that God lives. Faith is total trust in Him" regardless of what happens. Some things have transpired today that have made me believe I am making progress with faith!
"[Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego] knew that they could
trust God--even if things didn't turn out the way they hoped.
They knew that faith is more than mental assent, more than an
acknowledgment that God lives. Faith is total trust in Him.
"Faith is believing that although we do not understand all things, He does. Faith
is knowing that although our power is limited, His is not. Faith in Jesus
Christ consists of complete reliance on Him."
Dennis E. Simmons, "But If Not . . .," Ensign, May 2004

I think you and I are going down parallel roads when it comes to the things we're learning and trying to work on. This has been on my mind a lot lately as well and I love that we can completely rely on the Lord and know that no matter what, he is there, ready to bless us.
