Born to Win

It is possible that there will be times throughout our lives when we will feel inadequate, useless, unworthy, and/or like a failure. These thoughts are common. Yet they are not from God.
We are taught, "If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." (Articles of Faith 1:13) In this case, "we THINK after these things."
God did not place us here on this earth to feel that we are inadequate, unworthy or unloved. His purpose in placing us here on the earth was to "prove [us] now herewith, to see if [we] will do all things whatsoever the Lord [our] God shall command [us]." (Abraham 3:25) In fact, His work and His glory is "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (Moses1:39)
God wants us to succeed. He wants us to accomplish our purpose here, which is to prepare to meet God. (Alma 34:32)
God has promised that He would prepare a way for us to do all things that are required of us. He has also said that the way that we will be able to accomplish all these things is through the Atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (1 Nephi 3:7)
God has created us to do, to accomplish, to fight, to win. We are here on the earth for a purpose that is specific to each of us and God will help us to fulfill that purpose as we trust in Him.
In other words, we were born to win.
