In these past weeks I've had nothing but the mere thought of "what if"
A constant what if this, what if that..what if it doesn't work out the way I want it go.
The awful unknown feeling that lingers in your stomach. Split between so many roads questioning which one to take, I took it one on one with the lord asking for help! As weeks grew on I began to get frustrated. Feeling as if time was closing in on me I still kept praying (unfortunately in discouragement) saying " I know you're listening..please answer my prayers"
At work it can often get slow. Costumers wander in and out sooo I keep myself busy whether it's in a healthy way or not (social media..yuh get me??) Scrolling through facebook a highschool friend (now serving a mission) shared a mormon message which later led to another message and to another ..and coincidently they were all about the same thing. (Trusting God) I quickly pulled out my journal and jotted down a few things to always remember. (AKA ANSWER TO MY PRAYER)
In the video elder holland told a story ~
Matt: dad why did we feel after praying about it that the right road was the proper one to take and it wasn't?
(After getting back on the right road) Holland: I think that the lords wish for us there and his answer to our prayer was to get us on the right road as quickly as possible with some reassurance and some understanding that we were on the right road and we didn't have to worry about it. And in this case the easiest way to do that was to let us go 400 yards or 500 yards on the wrong road and very quickly know without a doubt know it was the wrong road and therefor with equal certainty, with equal conviction that the other one was the right road
+ sometimes answers to our prayers are not sudden , sometimes they are
+ sometimes the answer to our prayer is obvious and a cool story to tell, sometimes it's a small simple answer that we must search for
+ and sometimes the lord leaves it up to us to decide
+ trust God more than your heart
I love receiving answers to prayers. It's another confirmation to me that God loves us & hears us. I have an absolute perfect knowledge that God loves us. He trusts us and expects the best from us. God is good.
Do not retreat when something doesn't go right
