God is our loving Heavenly Father, He loves us and wants to communicate with us. He wants the very best for us in this life, and is always there to answer our prayers.
Jesus Christ was the master teacher, He showed us how to live our lives and what we must do in order for us to gain eternal salvation. The first principle of the Gospel is Faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Faith that He is the Only Begotten Son of God, and Savior and Redeemer of the world.
The Prophet Joseph Smith suffered many trials and tribulations in His lifetime as He worked to restore the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the earth. Many people persecuted him and his followers. Eventually, he was murdered. While suffering in liberty jail, after being falsely accused, The Lord comforted him saying: "My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes" D&C 121:7-8
