I just wanted to share what has been weighing heavily on my mind lately.
I have been thinking back on my life and seeing where I have come. Who I have grown into. As I look back I see many trials and growing experiences. I have witnessed many miracles. I have had many times where I have doubted my testimony and faith in my Savior Jesus Christ. Some of those times lasted longer than others. But I always rediscovered that faith and that burning flame of my testimony.
I say that because I have yet again found myself in a spot where I am a little unsure. I have made little choices that are slowly pulling me away. My faith is being tested in ways that I didn't even know were possible. Satan is extremely creative in the ways he tempts us. He knows just where to target me. For months and months I have just been living my life day to day. I have not kept an eternal perspective at all.
And, as always, Heavenly Father has found his way into my thoughts and my heart. He is helping me to see where I am. I know that this is not where I want to be. He is nudging me to make changes in my life. And as I am realizing this, all I feel is comfort, love, and support. He is so forgiving of our sins. He only wants what is best for me.
Tonight as I was thinking about where I am and where I want to be, I said a simple prayer. I just asked God if he could just give me a little direction for where I should go, and what I should do. After this simple, childlike prayer, I felt so warm and so loved. I could feel Heavenly Fathers arms wrap around me. I had forgotten that feeling.
I just want to testify that God hears every prayer. And He is always there for us. Even though we can do things to distance ourselves from Him, He never leaves our side. And I know that through him we can become who we are meant to be. If we draw close to Him, He will draw close to us.
