“Five Scriptures That Will Help You Get Through Almost Anything” by John Bytheway is a one hour and 6 minute MP3 audio download that is designed to help teenagers become familiar with the scriptures and solidify a few verses and chapters that will be applicable in almost any situation. Listening to Brother Bytheway is always entertaining while being instructive at the same time. I think one of the things that hit home with me was that we all view scriptures differently. This is a really good talk, not just for the youth, but also more particularly for parents and leaders, as it is a great source of comfort for them as they strive to raise righteous youth.

The one scripture that stood out to me was 1 Nephi 11: 17, where Nephi talks about how he knows that God loves his children, but that he (Nephi) does not know the meanings of all things. That gave me comfort to think that even Nephi  didnt know the meaning of all things. That also helped me see that there is hope for me.  I might not always like what happens in my personal life, or with my siblings, or my own family life; but  my Heavenly Father knows everything that is going on in my life.  I just have to be patient.  There is more coming that I don’t yet see or know.
 
“Five Scriptures That Will Help You Get Through Almost Anything” by John Bytheway, is a great talk that I recommend for anyone searching for answers to life’s general questions, and especially recommended it to anyone who has children. Many times in the last few weeks, since I have had this talk, I have felt alot calmer and also more secure in the parenting of my son.  I have also felt alot more at peace within myself, thanks to his wonderful way of seeing things.
