.: When life throws you curve balls..."Counsel with the Lord..."

In life, we are constantly thrown curve balls from all directions. Sometimes is it difficult to know where to go for help in overcoming these struggles. We may have wonderful friends and family that are there to guide us, but we often forget the one individual who understands us perfectly... Heavenly Father.

Satan knows each and everyone of us very well and will do anything to keep us from being happy. I have learned the greater importance of constantly relying on my Heavenly Father when I am struggling. I have gone through a lot of emotional pain, but through prayer I have gained a greater trust in Heavenly Father. In the Book of Mormon it says, "Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day."

I bear testimony that Heavenly Father will guide you to eteranl happines as you fervently pray daily. I love my Savior. I know the Book of Mormon speaks truth of all things. I say these things in the name of Jesus Chirst. Amen.
