Protected By The Hand Of God

In the course of my duties, I have often counselled folks to go forth with boldness, and serve the Lord without fear, and just as oft, been faced with the statement that, 'I was blessed of the Lord and can go forth without any fear.'

I know that going forth serving the Lord can sometimes be scary, but the Lord will watch out for anyone who is on His errand. It does not matter if that person is a Priest or Priestess, nor does it matter if that person is an Elder, Seventy, or Apostle, etc., for the Lord to reach out and protect and prosper His servant!

I love this quote from Wilford Woodruff:
"I traveled thousands of miles and preached the Gospel as a Priest, and, as I have said to congregations before, the Lord sustained me and made manifest His power in the defense of my life as much while I held that office as He has done while I have held the office as an Apostle."

So, do not fear. Go forth without fear in the service of God. Fulfill your callings, and the duties of the priesthood, and build up the Kingdom of God without fear, and without worry!
