“In Mine Own Way”
Many of us needlessly carry heavy burdens throughout life. Lack of faith, idleness, lack of education, debt, and lack of preparation for the future can all be burdens. Each of these burdens, represented as rocks, weigh us down. As we take responsibility for ridding ourselves of some of these burdens, our lives will be better.
Latter-day prophets have always taught the importance of being self-reliant and helping those in need. This lesson discusses these principles as well as the welfare program of the Church, which encourages members to apply these principles.
