The Lord is present in all of our lives whether we see it all the times or not. I know that He heard and answers my prayers in His timing. It isn’t always the answer I wanted or thought I needed, but He knows what I need. Sometimes it can get so easy to be frustrated with prayer because patience can be hard for some. I know for a fact that Heavenly Father understands my trials and weaknesses. He sent His only son to atone for them for the betterment of all people. It’s inspiring really. Through the Atonement, I know that I can be healed of my pain, heartache, sorrow, and sins. I am grateful for the opportunity to see my family again in the eternities. But I am especially grateful for the knowledge that I can see my best friend again. Her life ended way too early and it is through the gospel that I have found peace through my grief. I know that God is a just God and that He takes each of our individual lives into account. I know that He loves us.
