Today we continue our study of the account of the stripling warriors. We consider the great faith they demonstrated and we reflect on the lesson we learn about how they were preserved.

John Bytheway: “Having a testimony and having great faith in Christ does not guarantee that we won’t suffer. Abraham, Job, Abinadi, Nephi, Joseph Smith, and countless other righteous people… all suffered. Jesus Christ suffered beyond them all, and he never did anything wrong…. We’re all going to go through some tough times; that’s just the nature of life on earth. But our tough times cannot destroy our hope unless we let them. That is our option. We’re all going to suffer, but we don’t have to be miserable. Since all of the stripling warriors were wounded, we might expect that we’ll also get some bumps and bruises as we go through life’s battles”
