President Russell M. Nelson has said: “You will have moments of dismay. But you should remember that each of you is literally a son or daughter of Almighty God. You have been created in His very image.

Physically, he wants you to honor the body as your own personal temple.

Spiritually, he has sent you here to be successful and to have joy in your journey in mortality. He wants each of you to know that “with God all things are possible”….https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/luke/1.37?lang=eng#p36. You are entitled through your worthiness to receive revelation to help you with your righteous endeavors. You may take upon you the name of the Lord. You may pray in His holy name. You can qualify to speak in the sacred name of God. https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/1.20?lang=eng#p19   It matters not that the times of tribulation will come. Your prayerful access to  help is just as real as if when David battled his Goliath. 

So to each of you I say, foster your faith. Fix your focus with an eye single to the glory of God. “Be strong and courageous” and you will be given power and protection from on high.. . . .   https://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/2-chr/32.7?lang=eng#p6)

The Lord has more in mind for you than you have in mind for yourself! You have been reserved and preserved for this time and place. You can do hard things. At the same time, as you love Him and keep His commandments, great rewards—even unimaginable achievements may be yours.
