Trust in the Lord with ALL thine heart

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths."

I am so very blessed to have a priesthood holder to watch over and bless our home. Peter is such a beacon of light, hope, and extreme faith. Faith and optimism have always been Peter's greatest strenghths, which has been such a blessing on my hard days.

It never ceases to amaze me what a powerful impact (both spiritually and physically) such a small act such as giving a blessing/prayer can have--when we trust in the Lord, rather than ourselves as we replace our fears with faith.

I was feeling extreme anxiety and panic and could not decipher my thoughts or feelings. My heart felt like a lead weight and my mind was utter chaos as I tried to explain the heartache and pain felt in my soul for the welfare of dear friends I care about, for a sure knowledge of my divine role and purpose in life, and to feel secure and comforted with the answers I received.

After having Peter's strong and loving hands placed upon my head to give me a blessing (or prayer) of comfort it was as though light was penetrating my heart and soul leaving room for truth to enter there.

As I strived to live by the Spirit today, I was able to feel this lightness and wisdom was received. It is in the small, simple, every day moments we see where we are to go. However, our minds must be quiet and humble enough to hear the whisperings of our life's calling.
