This past week I had a pretty rough day
and even though I knew of the love of my family and friends, as I sat alone,
pondering, this feeling of complete loneliness came over me. Immediately
following that feeling, the Savior and the words “I am with thee” came to mind.
I looked up the scripture that these words belonged to, which is Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee;
yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my
righteousness.” I know that those words were not my own as I felt a
tremendous peace wash over my soul. I did not pray for peace or comfort. It
just came, but I know it came because He was/is so very aware of me and of all of
us. It was sure sign to me that I was not alone, and that Christ really was and
is there with me. He did “walk the path utterly and completely alone”, so that
we would not have to. I felt and know that He did help me, He did uplift me,
and He did strengthen me. This scripture was a huge blessing to me and I hope
it can be to all of you as you face challenges throughout the course of your
life. I testify of the Savior; that He is with you always. “His hand is outstretched
still” and He is only waiting for you to take a hold of it. I plead with you to
so. I say that in His name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
