One day after feeling so overwhelmed and alone I did the one thing that I knew would help. I got on my knees and prayed to my Father in Heaven. I poured my heart out to Him, as I did so He filled me with joy beyond description and I felt His love as never before. Not too often in my life do I receive an answer to a prayer in an instant but without delay at that very moment of need my Father comforted me and gave me an understanding of who I am. I realized that day, deeper than ever, that I was truly a child of God. I discovered my true relationship with Him and the potential I have as one of His sons. Since that day I have never doubted what I can do, I have never doubted His love and I have never felt alone. Through that experience I gained a greater understanding of the scripture found in Doctrine and Covenants 18:10 "the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." You and I alike are children of God, it does not matter what the world thinks because they do not know your heart. Our Heavenly Father does and as we go to Him in prayer He will show us exactly how He feels about us. I testify of our divine nature as a child of God and our worth is beyond that of the world. Below is a video of an Apostle of the Lord teaching us through the story of the ugly duckling that we have unmeasurable worth. Thursday, July 7, 2011
Who Am I?
There came a time last year when I was in a new place, with new people and an all new life. For the first time I did not have the comfort of returning to my own home and my friends and family were thousands of miles away. It was at this point in my life that I found out who I really am.

Thanks for sharing this experience! I think that we can all relate to having hard times in our lives, and it's nice to hear a time when you felt God's loving arms around you right in your time of need. Hopefully we've all felt that, and I need to seek for more of those experiences and look back on them when I am struggling.
