The Reason for the Hope that Is within Me

​I had a beautiful, spiritual “ah ha” moment recently   

In General Conference President Nelson told us to “seek and expect miracles.”  In earlier addresses, he told us, particularly the women, that we can pull down the powers of heaven to bless our loved ones and families.  With that in mind, I decided on four miracles I will seek and expect.   For the next week or so, I pondered the miracles I seek.   I ask in confidence, knowing that things will work out.   I may not get the miracles for which I petition but I am confident that all will work out.   Then I started thinking about that confidence.   Why am I so confident? Am I just wearing figurative “rose-colored” glasses? Am I imagining only good and blinding myself to reality?   Should I just accept things the way they are and figure out how to deal with them?   Then a New Testament verse came to mind.  “……be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you…” (I Peter 3:15)     That is why I am so hopeful/confident that all will work out.   It is because of Christ.   He is the reason for the hope that is in me.
