I already shared this experience on Facebook, but my heart is too full right now not to share it here too.
About a month ago when I was reading my scriptures I felt inspired to write the reference “Mosiah 24:14” on a sticky note and put it on my bulletin board, but I wasn’t really sure why. Tonight I got my answer… I was in my room on my knees pleading with the Lord for help with some “afflictions” I am dealing with and after I got off my knees and looked up, that reference was the first thing I saw and it was a direct answer to my prayers and exactly what I needed to read at that moment…
I am oh so grateful for the Lord’s hand in the little details of our lives. He knows what we are going through and what we need to get through it and he will provide a way. Every. Time.
A month ago, he knew that I would need to read that scripture tonight, and so he inspired me to write it down. So I did, even though I didn’t know why. Because he had a reason for that. I am just glad I followed that inspiration and that he was kind enough to let me know why I felt I should write down that reference. It is such a tender mercy.
I don’t know what I would do without divine help and the guidance of the scriptures. They have gotten me through so much that I could have never ever gotten through on my own.
The scriptures are TRUE. The gospel is so TRUE. God is REAL. You are HIS child. Christ is REAL. He is your SAVIOR. They LIVE. They WILL LIFT your burdens if you give them the chance to help you. I can testify that this is true will all my heart <3
I hope you can recognize experiences like these in your own lives. If you are struggling, please pray! Talk to God, your Heavenly Father, and let him help you, because there is nothing he wants to do more. He may not always take away your burdens, but he will always always ALWAYS find a way to lighten your load and help you get through it. I promise.
Please don’t be afraid to leave comments about experiences you have had if you feel so inclined : ) I know for me personally, my testimony only grows stronger through hearing the thoughts and experiences of others as they put gospel principles to the test and as they strive to become more like Christ.
