2 Nephi 21-22 I will trust, and not be afraid.

2 Nephi 21
Jesus Christ rules this earth and when the time is right he will come here and reign. “The cow and the bear will feed; their young ones shall lie down together.” V.7 Think of it! No more war or contention on the earth. No more fear of hurt or pain or any bad stuff happening. We can strive for this kind of peace in our hearts and lives right now by having faith in Christ. Stone family, have faith.
2 Nephi 22
Nephi and Jacob must have loved this chapter! Their hero Isaiah feels just the way they do about Christ. “I will trust and not be afraid; for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation….Sing unto to the Lord; for he hath done excellent things.” As we look forward to changes in our lives we must look to God the Father and his son, Jesus Christ, and trust that they will walk beside us in our choices. Yes, it is appropriate to have our hopes about where we will live and what we will be doing. But don’t be afraid to give him the reigns and go where he wants us to go. Thy will, not mine, be done. Surprises are part of the journey.
