God

While i was at BYU-Idaho I came across this quote.

If God brings you to it,

he will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

 Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

Recently I have come to realize that this is true. The Lord will carry you through your trials IF you allow him to. Its hard at times to remember our Savior when life seems to be going good. I believe that part of the reason we receive trials/affliction in our life, is just the Lord reminding us personally that he is there and waiting, ever waiting, for us to ask him for help.  

This past year has had a LOT of moments when the only way I could get through it was by seeking my Lord in constant prayer and scripture study. As a result I have a testimony that God really is there and in my life and  knows what I am going through. The quiet moments give me a chance to ponder where I am in life and where the Lord needs me to go. 

During the painful times, the Lord is just waiting to for each of us to just trust him and allow him to guide our life. As I have done this more and more, I have come to trust my Heavenly Father and Savior so much more then I could have dreamed of. By knowing this, my gratitude deepens because I know they are there and helping me.
