Feasting on the word of God each day is more important than sleep, school, work, television shows, video games, or social media. You may need to reorganize your priorities to provide time for the study of the word of God. If so, do it!

What am I to learn from this experience? What am I to change? Whom am I to help? How can I remember my many blessings in times of trial?
