Healthy Thinking Patterns

From Finding Strength in the Lord – Emotional Resilience

Heavenly Father wants us to value ourselves the way He sees us and not as the world judges. Satan uses discouragement to cause us to doubt God’s love for us and our divine nature.

Review the following and think about why Satan would want us to believe our worth and worthiness are the same. How does thinking poorly about ourselves hold us back?

“We cannot gauge the worth of another soul any more than we can measure the span of the universe. Every person we meet is a VIP to our Heavenly Father. Once we understand that, we can begin to understand how we should treat our fellowmen” (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “You Are My Hands,” Ensign, May 2010).

Contact your ward Self-Reliance Specialist, or myself, for more information. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know.

The Lord has declared, “It is my purpose to provide for my saints” (D&C104:15).
