But what do you say to the faithful husband with small children who prays for his wife with cancer to healed, and she dies anyway? Do you tell him he didn't have enough faith to be worthy to claim the grace of God? Even with the Priesthood, tragedy happens, and no matter how faithful we are, we are not always spared from it. I believe the grace of God can be claimed to find strength in the face of adversity, but not in always being saved from bad things happening.

I loved your article and related on so many levels. Our family and especially myself, have been the recipients of similar blessings, and so many more. I always considered it exercising faith and the Priesthood. I think most of us do not really understand grace. We are in the process of learning and understanding more about what His grace is really all about.

You gave me an additional way to view Grace! I loved your experience in the fire.

This is a fascinating article, but I am wondering if Grace is the correct word. It seems to me that obedience gives us faith to ask for help. Grace is an enabling power that comes from the Atonement. Just because we obey well in one area, does this give us Grace of Faith to act. I am really interested in the opinion of others, as something about the way this is explained is just bothering me.
