I don't know about you guys, but when I was a kid, I always wanted Super Powers. I wanted to be able to heal people with flashes of green light that went "woosh" when I used them. I wanted to be Spiderman and use my spidey-sense know things others didn't. Or the greatest of them all- A Super Saiyan. A ridiculously strong superhuman that could fight, fly and power up with bright yellow light, and turn into a completely new fighter that was bigger and better. As I grew up, I came to realize that those kinds of powers don't exist in our world. I was doomed to accept that people were normal and did normal things without cool noises or flashes of light. After a while I was over it. I'd accepted that Super Powers didn't exist and I moved on in my life to try and discover what was actually worth pursuing.
Then I started to really learn the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I first learned that Faith in Christ brings miracles, and that no miracles are done without people's Faith. I learned that Faith can move mountains- mountains of suffering, guilt and pain as well as the great Rockies themselves. I learned that Grace "powers us up" and gives us strength beyond our own. I learned that obedience could physically and emotionally heal someone through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I learned that through the Atonement we can become completely new fighters in our lives. We can change. I learned that the Holy Ghost can tell me things nobody else does, or better yet, tell me the same thing it's telling someone else. I learned that Priesthood blessings have the power to change lives and peek into Heaven. There are super powers everywhere. You just have to know where to look. I'll give you a hint, it's not in the flashes of green or yellow light, or a radioactive spider. All true Super Powers come from God the Father and His priesthood and Jesus Christ and His atonement. God is a God of Miracles.
