Scared and Alone - Part 12:of 15 Overcoming Weakness

Dear Bro Jo,

There honestly isn't anything worse going on.

If you're thinking that because I'm so scared, it's because I have never went to anyone for anything.

That and I've had bad history with almost all of the Bishops I've had.

The only one I really trusted was the one from my first ward and he's no longer a Bishop anymore.

I know we all deserve help, but at times I feel unworthy of it.

Like why should anyone want to help me when I'm the one making stupid mistakes and doing things

I KNOW I shouldn't.

It's easier said than done on not caring about Man's judgments and focusing on The Savior's love.

Not really having the courage to do anything right now, but we'll see.

Thanks,

- Scared




Dear Scared,

How can you have "had a bad history" with previous Bishops if you never had to talk to them about anything serious??? 

I disagree with your assertion about focusing on the Savior's love. 

It's like the commandments: it's easier to live them than to not. 

Honestly, if your only problem is drinking tea, then it sounds like you're making excuses to me. 

It's not that big of a deal. 

Just stop drinking it. 

Simple. 

I understand it's hard to do. 

I gave up soda. 

As we overcome our weaknesses we become stronger.
