Micha毛lle Lafontant, enrolled in BYU-Pathway with the goal of becoming self-reliant and learning new skills to bless others.

After Kabeya Konyi returned home from his mission, he experienced challenges that made him lose hope of his dream to attend university. But, one morning, Kabeya prayed, and he later said, 鈥淒eep in my heart, I felt peace.鈥

In the same moment, Kabeya felt prompted to read , which taught him to trust in the Lord and gave him hope during a time of uncertainty. Kabeya鈥檚 dream became a reality when he enrolled in BYU-Pathway Worldwide.

During times of uncertainty in your life, you, too, can find hope and peace through reading Christ鈥檚 words in the scriptures.

Before enrolling in BYU-Pathway, Jenifer Marie was overwhelmed with the demands of raising a family and felt consumed by fear. 鈥淚 could not bear it any longer,鈥 she said. 鈥淪omething made me kneel in prayer and cry my heart out to God.鈥 While she didn鈥檛 receive an immediate answer right then, 鈥淚 felt better after,鈥 she said.

Not many days later, two sister missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stopped by Jenifer鈥檚 home. 鈥淭hey led me, and my family, to Christ,鈥 she said.

As Jenifer learned to rely on Jesus Christ, she gained the peace she had been searching for. Jenifer, with her family, joined the Church of Jesus Christ.

Just as the Savior sent the missionaries to Jenifer, He may use messengers in your life to offer His gift of peace.

Find peace in Christ

Micha毛lle, Kabeya, and Jenifer each worked to build their relationships with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and each one was blessed with peace when they needed it. Similarly, as we look to Them by praying, reading the scriptures, and listening to the Spirit, we will find peace when we need it most.
