READ THIS PART

There is a really cool lesson to be learned from D&C 9: 

Oliver Cowdery wanted to translate with Joseph Smith--in D&C 8, God told him to give it a try. But it didn't work! Why didn't it work? This was the revelation he recieved after attempting to translate: 

5 And, behold, it is because that you did not continue as you commenced, when you began to translate, that I have taken away this privilege from you.

11 Behold, it was expedient when you commenced; but you feared, and the time is past;

The same thing happened to the Apostle Peter when he tried to walk on the water.

"But you feared"

How often does this happen in our own lives? We start out with determination and grit, but when it gets hard, we are tempted to quit. Whether we are applying for college, decided to go on a mission, getting a new job, auditioning for a show, going on a big hike 等等 (deng deng - etc.), the test is always the same.

Will we continue as we commenced?

I think one of the things that caused Peter to fear was the fact that He broke eye contact with the Savior. That is was caused Him to fear.

So continue to look for Him, and press on :)

Bars:

-Perfectionism is Pride
