He knows me

I have been pondering to share more on this though or to keep it very private, but what is that going to do for me. I've already learned it, more importantly I felt it and know it.

Their will come a time in your life when you are going through some sort of difficulty and as normal you feel lost and confused. Many times asking why? or whats next?
When it gets so dark and we are so stubborn to turn towards the Lord we seek elsewhere. We can feel like our Lord and Savior are no longer cheering for us to succeed in life but have just completely forgotten about us. Our emotions are like a yo-yo. Sometimes we are fine and sometimes we want to crawl into a dark hole for the winter and not come out for a good year. Sometimes we give up on ourselves.

This is where we are wrong.

I was in tears crying when a dear friend of mine who I grew up with told me a few weeks ago about a feeling she had.
We had not talked to each other in years, but still we close. When she came into town and we went out to catch up, I opened up about my fertility issues. She and I sat and cried as she told me a story that happened to hear a month or 2 before our meeting up.  She was pondering who she could add to her prayers, not knowing why she said my name came so clear to her. She didn't doubt for a second why? but did as she felt prompted and prayed for me for quite some time. It was a tender mercy, this dear friend who I had not spoken to was my angel. The Lord knew I needed prayers and because my friend was in the right place (the temple, at the right time (when I needed help) she was ready to be my angel. She was very aware that I needed to know this and needed to know whatever I was going through Heavenly Father is right here and is aware of every prayer. I know he hears me...when I'm crying in my sleep, he hears me.

Tonight as I listened from a witness of Jesus Christ, in his talked he made it known many times that the Lord knows what we are struggling with and wants us to show him we know and remember the commandments. It was another Tender Mercy in my life. He may not ease or take away my burdens and trials but he will carry me through them.
