“For I am God, and mine arm is not shortened; and I will show miracles, signs, and wonders, unto all those who believe on my name.” -D&C 35:8
“For I am God.” Is there anything more reassuring or more powerful? Think of it. If we know who God is, all He has done, and know of his infinite power, then we can automatically find peace in His ability to succor his people. Knowledge of God and our relationship with Him brings peace and reassurance to the soul.
In Isaiah 59:1 it gives some further enlightenment on what the phrase “mine arm is not shortened” means. When the Lord says his arm is not shortened, it means that there is nothing that is outside of his reach—there is absolutely nothing that the Lord cannot do.
A knowledge of God, our relationship with him, as well as the magnitude of his power, allows us, as his children, to receive the blessings he has promised us. The Lord will indeed show miracles, signs, and wonders, unto all of those who believe on his name. He will provide a way for those who are doing their best to obtain the guidance and revelation they need to withstand the trials and temptations that are in this life.
How do I know this? How can I make such claims? Because I’ve seen it in my life. I write so often about how much strength there is in coming closer to God. About how after you learn of Him and your relationship with Him, He will perform miracles in your life… I write about this because I write what I know from experience to be true. The miracles that have been made evident in my life have not been what the world would consider extravagant, but they are what I needed. God has given me hope, joy, strength, and the courage to keep fighting. There is nothing that God’s arm cannot conquer--for He is God.
