Summary
In this episode, I dive into Doctrine and Covenants 88, an amazing revelation about light, glory, and the peace Christ offers us, even when life feels hard. I share how this section came in the middle of challenges for the early Saints and how it teaches us to seek God’s will, not just our own. We’ll talk about what it means to be sanctified, why consolation is just as much a gift as joy, and how the story of the brother of Jared shows the importance of doing our part before asking for miracles. Along the way, I share personal experiences, tender mercies, and lessons the Lord has been teaching me about trust, preparation, and finding light in dark places.

| 0:00.0 | This is Come Follow Me for us, a weekly podcast where we feast on the words of Christ and have fun doing it. |
| 0:07.7 | I'm your host, Melanie Straub. |
| 0:10.4 | This is Dr. On Covenants 88, establish a house of God. |
| 0:15.1 | I'm really excited because by this point, most kids have gone back to school. |
| 0:20.2 | And I know the majority of people that listen have been a little distracted by having children home for the summer. |
| 0:26.4 | So I just have one thing to say at the beginning of this week. |
| 0:33.7 | Freedom. |
| 0:37.2 | Maybe we can just get back into our routines a little bit and actually listen to a podcast as we're commuting somewhere or as we're cleaning the kitchen, going to the gym, by ourselves. |
| 0:49.5 | Who knows? |
| 0:50.6 | Don't write me and say the kids are the blessing of the earth. |
| 0:53.7 | And I shouldn't have said that because |
| 0:55.3 | it's been a really long time. Okay, this lesson is so good and it's so long. It's so long. So I'm |
| 1:05.2 | going to break it into pieces and I might even end up breaking it into three different podcasts. |
| 1:10.6 | We'll see how long this takes and how this |
| 1:12.3 | goes. One thing I want to explain is last week I said when receiving revelation and answers to our |
| 1:19.4 | prayers, I said some things are like a doy. And I don't know if everybody quite understood that, |
| 1:25.1 | but I had an experience this week that made me think maybe there |
| 1:28.3 | was a little bit more clarification. But I was praying for something that I felt like I wasn't |
| 1:33.1 | getting an answer to. And then one day I sat back and thought about it and I thought, that's a doi |
| 1:39.4 | question, which means you don't pray and say, Heavenly Father, should I go to church? |
| 1:45.5 | Because he's not going to go out of his way to answer that prayer because it's a doi. |
