Spiritual Strength is a Gift

Spiritual strength is a gift from God
It sustains as we serve one another
When we learn to give all of our might, mind, and strength
Our own burdens ease while we assist our brothers

Like muscles strained to exhaustion
Carrying burdens can help us too
For our natures change to compensate
That we might complete whatever we're asked to do

And what causes this change to take place?
But, the influence of the Lord's Atonement
Which strengthens and fits us for His companionship
To become equal to the task for which we are sent

D&C 4:2
“Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.”
