We live in a world that seems to be constantly asking the question we often sing, \u201cWhere Can I Turn For Peace?\u201d Along with the age old concerns, our society faces additional new challenges as a result of living in a technology-centered, social media world. Slap a pandemic on top of that and, as we\u2019ve learned in recent weeks, the world truly feels like it is in pandemonium. But John Hilton, an author and associate professor of Ancient Scripture,\xa0believes that help for even the most current challenges can be found through the gospel of Jesus Christ and in the pages of scripture.
\u201cIf we can shift our mentality from \u2018Okay, I\u2019m going to pray and God\u2019s going to bless me with exactly what I want when I want it,\u2019 to \u2018I\u2019m going to keep my covenants no matter what,\u2019 it\u2019s a powerful shift in our lives\u2014 when we remember it\u2019s okay if our kids don\u2019t do everything that we hope they will. It\u2019s okay if I lose this great opportunity. In the long run, Jesus Christ is going to wipe away all of my tears and I can focus my hope on Him.\u201d
