Life has gotten tough. I will not lie to you. It's hard having someone you love leave. Granted he is out doing the Lord's work and I know he'll be safe, but it's still hard. So I decided that I would not be one of those missionary girlfriend's that mopes around.
I turned all of my efforts into bettering myself spiritually, as well as praying for my missionary and others. I've noticed that my heart has become softened to those all around me. I have also noticed that at night when I say my prayers, they have become more focused on others and less asking and more thanking.
I love this quote. It is so true. No matter what you're going through you can pray to your Heavenly Father and He will listen to you. He is like any other parent in the way that He is eager to hear from you and is excited about what's going on in your life. As you turn to Him for help, He will hear you and help you, whether it be through the Spirit or through His other children.
That is also why we need to have a strong relationship with our Heavenly Father. We are instruments in His hands! If we ask sincerely to help His children, He will present opportunities to help them. We must have willing hearts and open minds. Most people think of helping His children of missionary work, which isn't wrong! But we as normal members can help all, member and nonmember, man and woman.
I know that as you turn towards your Heavenly Father with open arms, He will be there to receive you into His own. I also know that you can make a big impact on this world. There are many souls who need your loving influence. Reach out to your Father to help you to reach out to them.
Love,
Janae
