Has there ever been a time in your life or even recently that you have asked yourself "why is life so hard?" Im sure you all have and its not just me on a very regularly basis. I was studying just the other day and came across a quote that I heard from President Christianson and it is so relavent to all of our lives and it gives alot of explanation for that question. The quote is "Satan don't kick no dead dogs" now as you read that you might think it is terrible english, and yes it is. But it is that way for a reason, and if it wasn't then we would all just forget. Sometimes throughout life we ask ourselves "why is it so hard?" or "why do I get worked on the hardest?" or "why do I face all the tough times?" This quote is just perfect for those questions. If you think about it Satan doesn't care about all those people out there that are committing crimes or out killing people. He could care less about them, because he knows they aren't going to do any good. The people that he works on the hardest and is most worried about are those who are trying to do good. Those who he knows will make a difference in somebody's life or those who are building up others. There are so many different experinces (Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith being first) that Satan will do all he can to try and ruin something good. Always before and after any spiritual experience. Before the savior wraught all his miracles he was temted. Before Joseph had the visions he was overtaken. it is the exact same thing in our lives and he knows that we are trying to do good. I really have found this out in missionary work first hand Elder Holland said "the only people Satan works harder on then missionaries, is the quorrum of the 12" and its so true. So lets all know there is a reason for it and fight this war. We can do it and we will! Satan is in our lives as much as the Savior is and he will do all we can, but with our faith and the Savior on our side he will have no power over us.
