In mine heart I was caught away in the Spirit of the Lord, yea, into an exceedingly high mountain, which I had never before seen, and upon which I never had before set my foot.
1 Nephi 11:1
I’ve heard it said that when the Lord has something to teach you, he needs to separate you from what you know. This has been true for me.
Removed from the familiar and the comfortable, we are in a position to level up in our understanding and even our joy.
So often I catch myself praying for my family to be protected from pain, when I should be praying that they will know God better because of their experiences.
