Mark 4-6 Strength to Overcome Peer Pressure
1. Mark
5:23 “Lay thy hands on her…and she shall live.”
“Whatever Jesus lays his hands upon lives. If Jesus lays his hand upon a marriage, it lives. If he is allowed to lay his hands on the
family, it lives….He will lift and raise every man to a new and better life who
will permit the Savior to take him by the hand.” (Pres. Hunter, Oct. 1979)
2. Mark
5:36 “Be not afraid, only believe”•Challenges,
difficulties, questions, doubts—these are part of our mortality. But we are not
alone. As disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have enormous spiritual
reservoirs of light and truth available to us. Fear and faith cannot coexist in
our hearts at the same time. In our days of difficulty, we choose
the road of faith. Jesus said,
“Be not afraid, only believe.” (Elder Andersen, Oct. 2008)
3. “Individuals
who do wrong want you to join them because they feel more comfortable in what
they are doing when others do it also.” (Elder Scott, Oct. 1994)
