Does this mean that we should believe that God has all power that we both can and cannot imagine? Mosiah 4:9

Does this mean that we should believe that God has all power that we both can and cannot imagine? Mosiah 4:9

Because...I have a big imagination!

But the answer here is obviously yes. God has all wisdom. He is a God of truth. He knows everything.

Everything.

Neal A. Maxwell said this in his 2002 talk, Encircled in the Arms of His Love:
Ignoring the revelations about God’s astounding capacity is like playing aimlessly and contentedly with wooden blocks featuring the letters of the alphabet, without realizing Shakespearean sonnets were created using that same alphabet.
Another interesting talk to consider is Rosemary Wixom's 2015 talk called Returning to Faith. She shares the story of a young mother who struggled with her faith. It was a really fascinating story. Eventually what brought her back to her faith was a quote from Mother Theresa which said, “Please pray specially for me that I may not spoil His work and that Our Lord may show Himself—for there is such terrible darkness within me, as if everything was dead. It has been like this more or less from the time I started ‘the work.’ Ask Our Lord to give me courage.”

She thought that if Mother Theresa could live her religion without all the answers and without a feeling of clarity in all things, maybe she could, too. She turned her faith towards the Savior, Jesus Christ.

I testify to whoever's reading this blog that Jesus Christ is God. He knows everything. You can trust him. He knows you. He loves you. He wants you to be happy, and he wants you to repent and rely on his saving grace. He paid the price for your sins, and mine so that we can repent and return to live with our heavenly parents someday, joined together in eternal family units, capable of eternal progression, eternal learning, eternal growth.

Rely on him. Humble yourself. Pray for help. He's listening, and he will always answer your prayers.
