    God, Give Me Strength: When You Don’t Feel Capable of What He’s Asking

    “I just don’t know what to say.” For years, those words caught in my throat every time I was asked to speak. I’d read my talks word for word and still couldn’t get them out. Then I started saying one small prayer before I opened my mouth, and everything changed. If you’ve ever looked at your weaknesses and thought, “Someone else could do this so much better than me,” or looked at your strengths and talked yourself right out of them, this episode is for you. The problem isn’t that you’re not capable. It’s that you’re trying to be strong on your own. This morning I came across Alma 26:12 and felt impressed to set aside what I’d planned and share this instead. Ammon says, “As to my strength I am weak… but in his strength I can do all things.” In this episode I’m sharing: * The moment peace came over me at the pulpit, and why my speaking anxiety is what actually brought me to the Lord * The day I lay on the floor, sick with a new baby, wondering how I’d make it through, and the words I heard from Heavenly Father that night that I’ll never forget * Why waiting until you’ve learned all the things and taken all the courses can keep you from what the Lord is asking of you right now * The scriptures that show, over and over, that He makes weak things become strong The Lord gave you your callings for a reason. There are people and hearts only you can reach. I pray this episode helps you see that God believes in you, and that your weakness may be the very thing that brings you closer to Him. 📖 Want a list of scriptures for when the Lord calls you in your weakness?

And you start doubting your ability to do the things that you want to do, or the things that the Lord is asking of you? Do you ever focus in on all those weaknesses that you have, and when you look at your strengths, you diminish them and start to feel like they’re really not that great of a strength? If this is you, this episode is for you. Welcome to the Divine Worth Podcast, where we are letting go of our fears and self-doubt so that we can embrace who God sees in us. I am your host, Life Coach Karen Papin, and today I am talking about something completely different than what I had originally planned. The reason why is I started reading my scriptures this morning. I’ve been really striving to check in with the Lord before I just take action. And so I was reading my scriptures this morning, and I came across a scripture that I just felt impressed I needed to share. “In His Strength I Can Do All Things” That scripture is in Alma chapter 26, verse 12. Here in this chapter, Ammon is glorifying God. He is just very thankful for all the blessings that God has given him, and given those Lamanites who are now the Anti-Nephi-Lehies, because Ammon and his brothers went to them and taught them the gospel. They had just this great success, and Ammon is talking about that great success. His brother Aaron kind of rebukes him. It says that he’s afraid that Ammon is getting carried away into boasting. And then Ammon talks about how he is not boasting in his own strength. In verse 12, this is what he says: “Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.” (Alma 26:12) I just really got to thinking about that, because in the scriptures, over and over and over again, we are told that the Lord makes weak things become strong. And here Ammon is talking about how he himself is weak, and yet all these amazing things have happened. They had such great success, but it was because of the Lord and their willingness to listen to the Lord. When We Are Weak, He Makes Us Strong I think sometimes we see our weaknesses, or even our strengths, and we downplay them. We start to think that we are not capable. We start to think that someone else would do better at what we are called to do. And yet, it is when we are weak that the Lord is able to make us strong. I have seen that, even in those really hard and difficult moments in my life where I just did not know if I had the strength to go on. In the midst of my grief, I wondered how I could even get out of bed to do the things that the Lord was asking me to do. And yet the Lord makes us strong. I’m going to give you just a few examples, and then I want to share with you some more scriptures about how the Lord is teaching us this concept that He makes weak things become strong. “Heavenly Father, Please Help Me Get the Words Out” I was reminded of my own personal story of how I have really struggled to speak throughout my life. At times I just could not get the words out. It would be like they’d get caught in my throat, and then I’d start ruminating in my head: I just don’t know what to say. I just don’t know what to say. I just don’t know what to say. And I’d get stuck there. I used to give talks where I would read them word for word so I would have the words there, but I still couldn’t get the words out. I’d just be thinking, I can’t do this, I can’t do this, I can’t do this, right? It was an amazing lesson for me to learn that if I just trusted in the Lord and believed in Him, He would help me overcome my struggle to get those words out. I remember the first talk I gave when I truly understood that the Lord would help me. I got up there and said this little prayer: “Heavenly Father, please help me to be able to get the words out.” As soon as I opened my mouth, peace came over me and I was able to speak. The next time I was asked to speak, the exact same thing happened. And it happened over and over and over again. I have come to see that my weakness, that anxiety I have about speaking, is what brought me to the Lord. It helped me to see two things: one, He believes in me, and two, He can help me make that weakness become a strength. “I Knew You Could Do It” Here’s another example of how He makes our weaknesses become strong. It was maybe a couple of months after my youngest was born. I had a cold, and my youngest had a cold as well. We were both sick, and it was the beginning of the day. I remember just lying down on the floor and saying a prayer: “Heavenly Father, I do not know how I am going to make it through this day. I’m just really not feeling well. I need help.” I wasn’t going to ask for help from anyone other than Heavenly Father, because I didn’t want to get anyone sick. But if someone had voluntarily offered help in some way, I would have taken it. Well, no help came. I remember it being the end of the day and saying a prayer, starting with gratitude, thanking Him for different things throughout the day and for my family. And then I said, “Thank you for helping me to make it through this day.” And I realized two things. First, wow, He really did help me have the strength I needed throughout the day. And second, very clearly, what I heard was, “I knew you could do it.” God Believes in You The reason I share that story is because, … Get full access to Beloved & Becoming at karenpapin.substack.com/subscribe

    Feeling Unqualified for Your Calling? | Come Follow Me Jeremiah 1

    When God Calls You to Do Something That Scares You Has the Lord ever asked you to do something that left you frozen, feeling unqualified and unsure of the first step? In this week’s Come Follow Me episode, we look at the call of Jeremiah, who told the Lord, “I cannot speak, for I am a child.” The Lord answered him: Say not I am a child… be not afraid… for I am with thee. I share my own story of being a little girl who could barely speak outside my family. That same girl later served a mission giving tours on Temple Square. We also walk with Peter onto the water and see what happens when we take our eyes off the Savior. Then we look at three truths from President Henry B. Eyring’s talk “Rise to Your Call” that helped me on my mission: You are called of God. He knows you and He chose you. He will guide you by revelation when you commit to do His will. He will magnify you beyond your natural abilities. You’ll also hear how one woman on my very first tour found the courage to make a change in her life after watching the Lord help me through my fear. You are capable. You are of worth. The Lord knows you, and He has a great purpose for you. 📖 Scriptures & Resources Mentioned Jeremiah 1:5–8, 19: The Lord knew Jeremiah before he was born and promised to be with him Matthew 14:24–32: Peter walks on the water Alma 32: Nurturing even a particle of faith Matthew 17:20: Faith as a grain of mustard seed Matthew 7:7: “Ask, and it shall be given you” “Rise to Your Call” by President Henry B.

Or like you just keep praying and praying, and yet you feel like those prayers are not getting through, like you’re hitting the ceiling with those prayers? Or maybe you feel like you’re doing all the right things, and yet you’re still feeling that gap. Something that has helped me in those times is recognizing and understanding that God is still there. He’s not actually the one that has moved. And yet sometimes we still feel that distance. The great news about recognizing that God is still there is that it gives us hope that we can close that gap. In Isaiah 58, the Lord gives us two tools for being able to close that gap. And He makes a promise to those who use these two tools. He says they will be called the repairer of the breach. Today we’re talking about how to become the repairer of that breach and to close that gap. So with that, let’s dive in. Welcome to the Divine Worth Podcast, where we are letting go of our fears and our self-doubt and other limiting beliefs to be able to recognize and understand who God sees in us. I am your host, Life Coach Karen Papin, and together we are diving into Isaiah chapters 58 through 65. These scriptures really can help us to understand that God is still there, even in those difficult times, even when we feel that distance, and that there are some things that we can do to be able to bridge that gap that we are feeling. The Lord’s Hand Is Not Shortened Let’s start with Isaiah chapter 59, verses 1 through 2. It says: “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Sometimes we might read that scripture and think, “God’s distancing me because of my sins.” But there’s actually a great hope in that scripture, in that the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save. That means He is still reaching out to us. He can still help us if we turn to Him. Sometimes that distance feels very strong. Sometimes it is our own mistakes and transgressions and sins that are keeping us from being able to recognize that the Lord is there, and that we can turn to Him and overcome, and that He’s still hearing us. And at other times, it is the struggles that we are facing, where our emotions and our thoughts are actually what are keeping us in the dark and creating that distance between us and the Lord. One thing to remember in all of this is that even as we are doing all of the things, it’s still on the Lord’s timing. That doesn’t mean that He’s not there. It doesn’t mean that He’s not helping us. Sometimes we just don’t see it. And other times there’s a waiting period that we need to go through to help us grow stronger. “Behold Me, Behold Me” In Isaiah chapter 65, the Lord says: “I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts.” There’s that thought piece again. But at the same time, it’s still showing that the Lord is there. He’s still reaching out to us, whether or not we are seeking Him. One thing to remember is that we are still of worth to Him. He’s still reaching out to us. We are the ones who are walking after our own thoughts and who are drifting. And yet that distance does not mean that we are any less loved. He still loves us, and He still sees our worth. God’s Relentless Pursuit of Us That’s why I love Isaiah chapter 62, verse 1, where He says: “For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.” What I love about that is He’s saying He is not going to rest. That reminds me of Elder Patrick Kearon’s talk on how God is in a relentless pursuit of us. He wants us to be able to succeed in this life. He wants us to come back to Him. He wants us to be close to Him. And yes, we go through periods of time where it is a bit of a struggle to recognize that, but He is still there, and He is still doing things to bring us back to Him. As it says in Isaiah 62:1, “I will not rest until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness.” He has not given up. He’s still doing what He can. Seek Him Daily In Isaiah, there are two things that the Lord has given us to help us turn back to Him and draw closer to Him. And actually, I’m going to add another thing first. Verse 2 of Isaiah 58 says: “Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinan… Get full access to Beloved & Becoming at karenpapin.substack.com/subscribe

The worries, the to-do lists, the people you love who are hurting, or even your own pain, and then that quiet voice in the back of your mind whispering, you’re not doing enough, or you’re not enough? If that’s you right now, this episode is for you. Welcome to the Divine Worth Podcast. I’m Karen Papin. “I, Even I, Am He That Comforteth You” This week we are diving into Isaiah chapters 50 through 57, and I want to start with this verse. It’s Isaiah chapter 51, verse 12: “I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass.” What I love about that is that right there, the Lord is saying, I, even I, am He that comforteth you. I just finished recording a session for the Divine Worth Summit with Jenny Webb, where we talked about being made whole through seasons of grief. It was a heavier session because we were talking about grief and those experiences where we’ve lost someone we love. And this is something we have both found: the Lord comforts us, and He is there in those hard times and in those seasons of grief. That is a theme throughout these chapters in Isaiah. The Lord comforts us, and He is there for us in those hard times. The Lord Shall Comfort Zion Earlier in chapter 51, it says: “For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.” (Isaiah 51:3) As I’ve read these chapters, what I have really seen is that the Lord is calling out to these pains and sorrows and struggles that we face, and then reminding us that He is there. And because He is there, there is hope, there is joy, and there is peace. Sing, O Barren Chapter 54 says, “Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child.” As someone who struggled with infertility for about five years, this verse really spoke to me. Going through that was one of the harder experiences of my life. Having a miscarriage in the midst of that time, and wondering if I would ever be able to have kids, was heartbreaking for me, because it was something I had always wanted. And yet through that time, the Lord carried me. He was there, and He was helping me. Verse 7 of chapter 54 says, “For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.” Sometimes it is hard to see the Lord in our lives, but He is there. He truly is there. Even in those moments when we struggle to feel Him, when we struggle to see Him and know Him, He is still there reaching out to us, comforting us, holding us, and carrying us. He comforts us even in those times when we feel numb and unable to see Him in the midst of the hardships we are facing. His Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee Continuing in verse 10 of chapter 54: “For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.” Those mountains and hills that we are facing will be removed someday. So hang in there, because the Lord’s kindness is still there. He’s still helping you, He’s still reaching out, He’s still holding you, and He is still giving you that peace as you are able to receive it. Verse 11: “O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.” Verse 13: “And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.” There is hope, there is strength, and there are blessings to come. Hang on, for He is with you. Everlasting Joy Through Small and Simple Things Let’s go back to Isaiah chapter 51, verse 11: “Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.” Do you see the joy in that scripture? As we hold on and continually seek to have the Lord in our lives, as we do the things that fill us and help us prepare for harder times, we keep doing those small and simple things we’re taught: reading our scriptures, praying, going to the temple, going to church, and taking the sacrament. Even in the moments when we don’t see the Lord, as we do those things, He will bring joy into our lives. Sometimes it’s not in the timing we would like. And yet keep doing those things. Keep holding on. Keep moving forward and keep seeking Him, because you will find Him if you seek Him and stay true. A Man of Sorrows, Acquainted With Grief One of my favorite parts of Isaiah is chapter 53, which talks about the Savior: “For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:2–3) What I love about this scripture is that it talks about how Christ is a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Even in our moments of sorrow and grief and intense pain, the Lord knows us and He understands us. Alma chapter 7 talks about how the Lord has gone through pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind. He has taken upon Him our pains, our afflictions, and our temptations, so that He may know how to succor us. And here in Isaiah 53:3, we gain a deeper understanding that Christ is a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, mea… Get full access to Beloved & Becoming at karenpapin.substack.com/subscribe

    Isaiah 40–49: Fear Not, He Has Called You by Name | Come Follow Me LDS | Divine Worth Podcast

    Isaiah can feel hard to read, but these chapters are full of God’s love for you. In this Come Follow Me LDS episode of the Divine Worth Podcast, Karen Papin walks through Isaiah 40–49 and shares the verses that stood out to her most, with a focus on what they teach about your divine worth. Chapter 40 opens with one word: comfort. From there, Isaiah repeats the same messages again and again: fear not, I am with thee, I have called thee by name, gather together, sing and be joyful, and they shall not be ashamed. Karen explains how each of these phrases is a personal invitation from the Lord and a reminder that He knows you, formed you, and is calling you to His work. In this Come Follow Me LDS study, you’ll learn: * Why Isaiah 40 marks a shift from warning to comfort, and how these prophecies speak to anyone who feels defeated or lost * How “they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31) applies to what He asks of you * The five truths about your worth in Isaiah 43:1, and why passing through the waters and the fire doesn’t mean He has left you * What “look unto me” (Isaiah 45:22) teaches about keeping an eye of faith, like Peter walking on water * Why the “furnace of affliction” (Isaiah 48:10) is a place where the Lord chooses you, not punishes you * The tender promise of Isaiah 49:16: “I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands” Whether you’re following the Come Follow Me LDS Old Testament schedule with your family or studying on your own, this episode will help you love Isaiah and see yourself in his words. Come Follow Me LDS study doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. When you read Isaiah looking for God’s love, you’ll find it on almost every page.

I forgot how much I love Isaiah until we started diving into these chapters for Come Follow Me. This week’s Come Follow Me reading is Isaiah chapters 40 through 49. I’m going to read the scriptures that really stood out to me from this week’s reading and explain how they relate to your divine worth and how you can see God’s love for you throughout them. As a young adult, I had a goal to better understand Isaiah. I bought some books about making Isaiah easier, and I really did gain a great love for it as I read. Isaiah talks a lot about the Savior and about redemption, and you can truly feel God’s love through his words. But sometimes it can be a little tricky to get through those Isaiah chapters. So my goal here is to help you gain a greater love of Isaiah, and to see through the things the Lord tells us in Isaiah’s words that God loves you, that He believes in you, and that you are of great worth. A Message of Comfort: Come Follow Me LDS Isaiah 40–49 One of the cool things about chapter 40 is that it sets the tone for this reading. Here’s a quote from the Come Follow Me manual: “Comfort is the first word of Isaiah chapter 40. It marks the beginning of a different tone, a different emphasis in the prophet’s message. Isaiah’s earlier writings warned Israel and Judah about destruction and captivity that would come because of their sins. But these later prophecies were meant to comfort the Jewish people over 150 years in the future, after Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed and the people were taken captive by Babylon. These prophecies, however, reach even further into the future than to the defeated, disheartened Israelites. They speak to us who also sometimes feel defeated, disheartened, or even lost.” I hope that quote gives you a better understanding of what you’re going to get out of these scriptures as we dive into them. Right off, in chapter 40, verse 1, Isaiah says: “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.” The Lord is calling you to receive comfort from Him. It’s an invitation. The truth is that whatever you have gone through, and whatever you are going through, the Lord loves you, and it’s through Him that true healing can happen. Verses 2 and 3: “Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” Right here, the Lord is calling you. He is calling you to share about the Savior. He is calling you to prepare the way for people to receive the Lord. Repeated Phrases in Isaiah: A Come Follow Me LDS Study Guide As I went through these chapters, there were a few phrases that were repeated several times. He is calling you. This shows up again and again. Gather together. This is not something we are doing alone. We are gathering together to become stronger in the Lord and to bring others unto Him. Sing and be joyful. Singing and joy often go together in these verses: “Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains” (Isaiah 49:13). He is talking about singing praises and remembering gratitude, because a praise is often a form of gratitude. As we embrace gratitude in our lives, we start to recognize and bring in the joy that our Heavenly Father wants us to have. We know from 2 Nephi 2:25 that “men are, that they might have joy.” That is something the Lord wants for us. I have formed thee from the womb, and called thee by name. The Lord knows us. He created us. He has known us all our lives. Elect. Last week we talked about Emma Smith and how she was an elect lady, someone called by God. That’s what elect means: you are chosen. The Lord is saying, You are my chosen people. Fear not. That makes a lot of sense to me, because He is calling us. When we recognize that the Lord is calling us, it often requires us to step outside our comfort zone and do something we’re not used to or that scares us. So He says it several times: fear not. I am with thee. This is often paired with fear not. These are little reminders that you don’t have to be afraid, because He is with you. Throughout these scriptures, the Lord keeps pointing to the great works He has done, showing that with Him nothing is impossible. And yet people keep turning to idols and other gods that really aren’t going to do anything for them, while the Lord will be an integral part of our lives. They shall not be ashamed. When we keep our faith, trust, and focus on the Lord, we are not ashamed. We know we are doing what is right. Whenever we feel opposition, or others look down on us for doing what’s right, we can stand firm, because the Lord is there with us reminding us that what we did was right. Now let’s dive into the verses so you can see how these phrases show up, and recognize that the Lord is calling you, that He believes in you, and that He is there for you because He loves you. Isaiah 40: They That Wait Upon the Lord (Come Follow Me LDS) Verse 8: “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” What I love about that is He’s telling us, trust in me. Everything else is fleeting, but the Lord is eternal. Verse 9: “O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!” Do you see how the Lord is calling you? He sees you as capable of sharing the truth of the gospel with others. Verse 11: “He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.” This is about how the Lord reaches out to you and supports you. He is going to help you through the things He is asking of you. I love that He compares Himself to a shepherd and us to lambs, because a true shepherd will do whatever he can for his sheep. They know him and he knows them. Verses 12–14: “Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him? With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?” To me, this shows the Lord’s great understanding. He knows the dust of the earth. He knows the weight of the mountains. The Lord knows more than we do, so let us trust Him, because He has a greater vision of what can be accomplished. Verse 26: “Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.” Isn’t that beautiful? He calls them all by name. He knows you. He is strong in power,

    Emma Smith: An Elect Lady

    Emma Smith gave up a life of comfort to follow the Lord, and what followed was mobs, persecution, poverty, forced moves, and the loss of several children. Yet in Doctrine and Covenants 25, the Lord opens His words to her by calling her “my daughter.” In this episode, Karen Papin explores Emma’s story and what it reveals about God’s love for LDS women today, especially when life is heavy and we can’t see the whole picture.

Episode Transcript Welcome to the Divine Worth podcast, where we are letting go of our fear and self-doubt and other limiting beliefs so that we can embrace who God sees in us. I am your host, life coach Karen Papin, and I’m excited about today because we are diving into learning about someone from the Doctrine and Covenants: Emma Smith and her story. I talked a bit about this on my Strength to Become podcast, because this Sunday’s For the Strength of Youth lesson also focuses on Emma Smith, how she was a covenant daughter of God, and what we can learn from that and from Doctrine and Covenants section 25. I dove into that lesson there, but I wanted to talk about Emma Smith on the Divine Worth podcast as well because of the lessons we can learn from her about God’s love for us, and how He is there for us even in the hard and difficult moments of our lives. So I’m going to share some of the lessons we can learn from Emma Smith, from her story, and from Doctrine and Covenants section 25, and how we can hear the Lord speaking to us through the words He tells Emma Smith. With that, let’s learn a little bit about Emma. The Lord Prepared Emma for Her Divine Roles The first thing I want to talk about concerning Emma Smith is how the Lord prepared her to fulfill the roles He had in mind for her. Emma was raised in a wealthy family. One thing we can glean from that is that she knew how to be in society. I imagine a lot of the grace she had and her ability to lead came as a result of her upbringing. She went on to become the first lady of Nauvoo. She went on to become the Relief Society president. And because of the great faith she had growing up in her family, all of those things helped prepare her to fulfill those roles in the Relief Society and as the wife of Joseph Smith. She hosted diplomats in her home. She made public appearances with Joseph at community events and supported her husband politically in various ways. She had been guided by the Lord throughout her life to be in a position where she could be a great support to her husband. Her education offset the lack of education Joseph Smith had, and she often served as a scribe for him. Those were some of the ways the Lord prepared Emma to fulfill the divine roles He had in store for her. God Saw Emma as His Daughter Another thing we can learn from Emma is that God saw her as His daughter. We learn that in Doctrine and Covenants section 25, so let’s dive in and read it. This section is a revelation given specifically to Emma through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Verse 1 says: “Hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God, while I speak unto you, Emma Smith, my daughter; for verily I say unto you, all those who receive my gospel are sons and daughters in my kingdom.” Right there, He is letting Emma know, you are my daughter. And not only that, but that all who receive the gospel are His sons and daughters. As we read that, we too can come to know, understand, and feel the truth of it. In fact, go back and read that verse, and where it says “while I speak unto you,” insert your name: my daughter. “For verily I say unto you, all those who receive my gospel are sons and daughters in my kingdom.” He is also speaking to you and letting you know that you are a child of God. Why is that so important? Because when we recognize and understand who we are as children of God, it affects every aspect of our lives. It affects what we believe, it affects our capabilities, it affects our behaviors, and ultimately our environment. As we truly embrace that we are children of God, with the divine qualities of our Heavenly Father within us, and as we turn to Him and allow Him to lead and guide us, we can grow. With the help of the Savior, we can overcome all things, and our capacity to do hard things grows as we put our faith and trust in the Lord. “How Much Can One Heart Take?” That is definitely something we see throughout Emma Smith’s life. She experienced so much. One quote I want to share with you is from Emma’s mother-in-law, Lucy Mack Smith: “I have never seen a woman in my life, who would endure every species of fatigue and hardship, from month to month, and from year to year, with that unflinching courage, zeal, and patience, which she has always done… She has been tossed upon the ocean of uncertainty—she has breasted the storms of persecution, and buffeted the rage of men and devils, which would have borne down almost any other woman.” Emma went through so much in her life. She gave up a life of ease, comfort, and wealth to marry Joseph Smith, which turned her life upside down in a lot of ways. She lived in a place of uncertainty b… Get full access to Beloved & Becoming at karenpapin.substack.com/subscribe

    When You Can't Forgive Yourself: A Letter on Mistakes, Confidence, and Self Worth

    This week’s episode is a little different — and deeply personal. After a tender moment with her son turned into an accidental elbow to the face (and a whole lot of mommy guilt on his end), Karen was reminded of something we all carry: the tendency to hold onto our mistakes long after they’ve happened, replaying them over and over instead of moving forward. In this episode, Karen shares a letter she wrote — one she imagines coming from a loving Heavenly Father to “the one” who feels stuck in shame. It’s a message about releasing guilt, receiving grace, and rebuilding your Confidence and Self Worth after you’ve fallen short. Because your mistakes were never meant to define you — they’re part of the process of becoming. If you’re an LDS woman who struggles to move past your own missteps, who ruminates instead of repents, or who just needs to hear that you are loved regardless of your weaknesses — this episode is for you. True Confidence doesn’t come from never messing up. Real Self Worth comes from knowing whose you are, even in your imperfection. In this episode: * The story behind the letter — a real moment of motherhood and repentance * A full reading of “A Letter to the One,” originally published on Substack * Why rumination keeps us stuck, and what repentance actually offers us instead * How embracing God’s love can restore your Confidence and Self Worth, even after failure Resources mentioned: * Read more Letters to the One (and other devotional writing) on Karen’s Substack, Beloved & Becoming Coming up next week: A study of Emma Smith as a covenant woman of God, diving into Doctrine & Covenants section 25. Want more encouragement for the journey? Head over to Karen’s Substack, Beloved & Becoming, for more letters, devotionals, and reflections — and be sure to check out Karen’s other podcast, Strength to Become, for more on building the Confidence and Self Worth every LDS woman deserves to carry. Transcript: A Letter to the One Welcome to the podcast. This week I am doing something I haven’t done before, and I want to give you a little background on what I’ll be sharing today. I had this experience where I was cuddling with my son, putting him to bed. We were just cuddling there, and I was singing to him. He shifted in a way and elbowed me right in the face — I couldn’t escape it. It hurt. My son felt horrible. He curled up into himself and started crying, feeling awful that he had hurt Mommy. I held him and did my best to comfort him, but it took a while for him to calm down and move on from that experience. And I realized — this is something we all go through. We hold onto a mistake we made, even though we feel horrible, even though there are things we can do to overcome it, and even though we have the Savior in our life. We still hold onto these mistakes. We beat ourselves up over and over. We ruminate over and over. As I was pondering this — and since I’ve been focused on writing down the things that come to my mind — this was one of those things. So I wrote a letter to the one who is stuck in those mistakes and can’t get out of them. I posted it on Substack, and I want to share it with you today. Here is what I wrote, to that one: My dear one, I held you as you cried. In that moment, all I wanted was for you to be comforted. I offered words of comfort and the love shared through my warm embrace. Yet you still felt the sorrow, the pain, the guilt, the shame. All I could do was hold you — trying to allow the love I felt for you to flow through my arms and into your soul. Trying to ease your pain through words I’m not sure were even getting through to you. Sometimes that’s all we can do: feel that pain. Sometimes all we can do is allow ourselves to see the mistakes we’ve made. And we struggle to move to the next step, because what we see is so obvious to us, and so painful to admit. Yet that acknowledgment is the first step to moving forward. It is hard, but so needed. Please don’t get stuck there. I know what it’s like to ruminate over and over on what you did — replaying that moment in your mind, wishing you could go back and change the reality of what happened, yet feeling the hopelessness and awareness that what was done was done. There is hope. It’s called repentance. It’s called love. It’s called doing what you can to right the wrongs, and committing to doing things differently next time. Because you see — when you get stuck in the hopeless, either not focusing on what happened, or refusing to accept it, or ruminating over and over and not accepting that you can’t go back and change it — it keeps you from making the change. My dear one, mistakes are a part of life. They are a part of learning. And you have been given agency and the ability to choose who you will be moving forward. You get to choose how you want to respond to what happened. So instead of hiding in shame, allow yourself to feel my love for you — my love that extends to you regardless of the mistakes you’ve made or the weaknesses you carry. Accept where you are, because then you can see more clearly the actions you need to take to make things right. Move forward from that love that I have for you. Move forward with hope. I love you. And I always will. That’s the end of the letter to the one. I imagined writing that not only to my son, but I also felt the words spoken to myself — as if Heavenly Father were telling them to me. I hope you felt that too. That you know you have a loving Heavenly Father who understands that you have made mistakes, and because of that, has provided a way for you to move forward — to apply the Atonement in your life, to have His love in your life, and to learn and grow. While we are here on earth, we will make mistakes. That is part of the process. I hope you enjoyed this letter. You can find more letters like this one on my Substack newsletter, Beloved & Becoming — I’ll put the link in the show notes. Be sure to join me next week. We’ll be talking about a covenant woman of God — specifically Emma Smith — diving into Doctrine & Covenants section 25 and learning more about how God showed His love through her. See you next week.

    Self Worth After the Fall — What Eve Teaches LDS Women About Mistakes and Redemption

    Welcome back to Season 3 of the Divine Worth Podcast! In this episode, Karen shares a personal update on her summer of writing and growth, then dives into a powerful lesson on self worth through the story of Eve. If you’ve ever struggled with self-editing, rumination, or shame after making a mistake, this episode is for you. Karen unpacks Eve’s story from Moses chapter 5, showing how the very first woman on earth — with no mortal mother to guide her — modeled a journey of failure, grief, and redemption that speaks directly to self worth for LDS women today. From the fall in the Garden of Eden to the heartbreak of losing her son Abel, Eve’s life reminds us that mistakes are not the end of our story — they’re part of God’s plan for growth. Karen also introduces the practice of free writing as a tool for processing difficult emotions, and issues a challenge: what if you aimed to fail more, not less, in pursuit of doing what’s right? This episode is a gentle, faith-filled invitation for LDS women to release shame, embrace imperfection, and rebuild self worth through the Savior’s grace. In this episode: * Karen’s summer update: writing, homeschooling, and starting a Substack * Free writing as a tool for processing grief, anxiety, and depression * Eve’s story and what it teaches us about self worth * How Eve’s loss of her son Abel speaks to grief and rumination * The “40 fails a month” mindset shift * A simple 3-step process for moving past mistakes: acknowledge, get curious, remember it’s not the end Paid subscribers on substack, your journaling prompts for this episode are waiting for you at the bottom of the page — a companion to help you sit with Eve’s story and reflect on your own journey toward self worth. Full Transcript Welcome Back to Season 3 Welcome to the Divine Worth Podcast. I am so, so happy to be able to be here with you today and be able to start Season 3 of the Divine Worth Podcast. We’ve had a little bit of a break, and in that time I’ve been focusing more on writing and stepping outside my comfort zone in that way. I started a Substack to hold myself accountable to this new goal I have of improving my writing. On there I share more about Divine Worth and seeing what God sees in you. I’ve been writing these “Letters to the One” — letters that are about helping you to feel seen, to feel heard, to recognize that God loves you. There are also letters of things that I want my kids to know. I’ve been writing these letters to the one, and also just doing writing exercises and sharing the things that I am writing so that I can learn and grow and get better — because the only way I’m going to get better at my writing is by actually taking that action and writing. That’s what I’ve been doing over the summer, in addition to spending more time with my kids and enjoying that they’ve been home. They’re back at school now, except for my eldest, who I’m homeschooling, and that has been a fun experience so far as well. So that’s a little update on what’s going on with me. But I am excited for this season of the Divine Worth Podcast. Free Writing as a Release One of the things I’ve been doing with my Substack is a free write. What that is, is I just take time — I grab my writing notebook and I write whatever comes to my mind without really censoring what it is that’s coming out. This can be a really beneficial exercise to do when you’re feeling depressed or anxious, or if you’re feeling grief — to just be able to write out the emotions you’re feeling. The interesting thing about doing that is it is a huge release, because that part of ourselves that is feeling these unresolved emotions begins to feel seen and heard. We’re no longer hiding or trying to hide those emotions or act like we don’t have them — we’re actually acknowledging and experiencing them so that we can process them and ultimately move forward in the ways we want to move forward. So that’s something I’ve been doing with my Substack — writing out whatever comes to my mind, whatever I’m feeling, and then processing those emotions through my writing. Sometimes it can be hard to do that, because inside there’s this desire to want to edit myself, to edit the things I’m saying. Yet the most powerful writing happens as we just let it all out. If you’re someone who finds yourself editing yourself throughout your day — keeping you from trying something new because you’re afraid to fail, or maybe you have trouble beginning a conversation with someone else because you’ve got all these ways you’re editing yourself before you even open your mouth — or maybe you’re someone who replays things over and over again in your mind. That’s something I have really struggled with in the past — just ruminating, even after a conversation or a mistake I made, replaying it over and over again. I’ve come a long way as I’ve learned some of these tools, such as this free writing. Or maybe you feel stuck in shame anytime you make a mistake, and you struggle to really let go of those mistakes. Eve’s story is something I feel is really helpful in relation to all of this, for those of us who do tend to edit ourselves. So let’s learn a little bit more about Eve. Eve: The First Woman Eve was the first woman on Earth. That is something that can seem so unfathomable to me, because sometimes in our lives we feel alone. Sometimes, as a mom myself, I can feel at such a loss for what to do for my kids and for those I love — not even just my kids, but for anyone we’re called to serve, we can feel at a loss and not really know how to move forward. So I can only imagine what Eve must have experienced and been feeling, being someone who really was the first one, paving the way for all the other women who would come after her. She did not have a mortal mother to help her know how to nurse her babies, or to know when to push them to step outside their comfort zones and when to rein them in, and to guide them in the different things they did. She was someone who we know made mistakes, and yet we also know there was wisdom within her mistakes. Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. They were told not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. When Satan came tempting Eve, she desired to be able to know good from evil, and so she partook of the fruit. Then she goes and gets Adam to partake of the fruit. What happens is they’re kicked out of the Garden of Eden because of this transgression they chose. But they still believe in God, they still follow Him, and they make sacrifices to Him, and they know that He is there and that He will guide them. What Moses Chapter 5 Teaches Us So I want to go into Moses chapter 5, because there’s something very interesting said within these verses. They’ve been cast out, and it says: after many days an angel of the Lord appears unto Adam, saying, “Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto the Lord?” And Adam said unto him, “I know not, save the Lord commanded me.” So they are still putting their faith and trust in the Lord, and they understand that they made a decision that caused them to be kicked out of the Garden of Eden, and they are accepting of the Lord’s decision in that. Then the angel says unto them: “This thing is the similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father, which is full of grace and truth. Wherefore thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore.” So here they’re talking about — you have been asked to do these sacrifices because they are reminding you what the Savior does for you. And yes, you made this choice, yes, you have fallen because of this choice, but there is a way for you to overcome. “And in that day the Holy Ghost fell upon Adam, which beareth record of the Father and the Son, saying: I am the Only Begotten of the Father from the beginning, henceforth and forever, that as thou hast fallen thou mayest be redeemed, and all mankind, even as many as will.” And in verse 10: “And in that day Adam blessed … Get full access to Beloved & Becoming at karenpapin.substack.com/subscribe
