We have all seen Nascar races. The cars are emblazoned with the decals and logos of their sponsors. It's not much different when we become members of the Church of Jesus Christ, One of the covenants we make at the waters of baptism is to take on the name of Jesus Christ. To take on His name is really to say to the world "this is who I represent, and the person to who I look to fir support".
At times when all seems lost, when perils and storms gather in the horizon, we have only one person to look towards for relief. The Savior's atonement is more than just a payment for our sins. It is also an umbrage of relief in our sorest trials. Our despair, our losses, our barren present can be supplanted with hope, equanimity, focus on eternal goals which reach far beyond this temporary heap of accidents we all come to experience in life.
It is as thought some of us had asked for the heavier tests, the tougher races, the greatest possible afflictions that our faith in our Sponsor may be tested. After all, what is a race without a sponsor?
