Striving to achieve our goals

We are not perfect. Everyday, I work towards it, knowing that I can never get there on my own, but knowing that I CAN get there through my savior. I have been working on my goals, and let's be honest, it's hard work. I try my best to pray in the morning, but sometimes I just forget. It's sad for me to think that we are never forgotten by our Lord and our God, but we so often put other things before them. I'm grateful for the atonement which allows me to continue to strive toward my goals. I may fail, time and time again, but I know that every time I fail, the goal remains, and the saviors hand to help me get there never gets further away than a simple extension of my own hand. With the Lord, we can do great things. We may fail a few times before getting there, but how else do we learn? God knows each one of our hearts. He knows the weaknesses we have, he is standing right next to us enduring them with us. We work on becoming perfect so that He can do his part. Without us working on it, how can he help us? I will achieve my goals. It may take time.No, it will take a LIFEtime to get there, but Heavenly Father would not ask us to do something that is impossible. I have faith that through Him, I can do anything I am asked. There may be challenges along the way. There may be pain, hard trials, minor speed bumps, great blessings, many tears, and many smiles, but I will get there. I will get there.
