Sisters, we live in challenging times that can try our faith. President Ezra Taft Benson noted in 1975 that "Every [person] eventually is backed up to the wall of faith, and there ... must make his stand." Elder Neil L. Andersen, in his talk "Trial of Your Faith", presented at the October 2012 General Conference, encourages us to be prepared for these trials of faith and not be surprised when they happen to us. We will discuss Elder Anderson's talk this Sunday in Relief Society and explore what actions we can take to strengthen our families and ourselves to be "steadfast and immovable" during these times. As Elder Andersen noted, "By definition trials will be trying. But our trials need not be spiritually fatal. They need not take us from our covenants or from the household of God."
