Words of Mormon 1:7 – “…I do not know all things; but the
Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do
according to his will.”
No matter what stage of life you’re in, life is hard. I
personally happen to be in the “college/young adult” phase, and there are just
so many unknowns and so many bumps in the road. I feel like I never know what’s
going on, where I’m going, what I’m supposed to be doing, or what’s expected of
me. I’ve tried to form a loose plan for my life, but for the most part I feel
like I’m really just walking blindly. Am I taking the right classes? Am I
saying the right things? Am I setting the right goals for my future? Am I
making a difference?
I feel like there’s so much more to being an adult than just
what I’m doing, but I don’t know how to do anything else!
But I find comfort and power in knowing I don’t have to
survive by my strength and knowledge alone. I don’t know or understand the
purpose for all that I’m asked to go through right now, but I feel peace in
knowing that God does. If I allow him to work in me, he will allow me to work
through him and his power.
The curveballs that are thrown can be frustrating and
confusing and disheartening, but even if the closed doors and the missed
opportunities don’t make sense now, God has a plan. Even if I’ve lost hope, God
knows my potential and purpose. When I feel weak and unable, God will be my
strength.
