The Scriptures have opned a whole new world to me lately as well as personal revelation, thoughts and insights. I'm looking for a way to share these as well as instill them in me personally. By Mike

A brief testimony of the Lord and finding optimism in Him in hard times.
I've been searching for a job for the past 6 weeks and it has been a complete frustrating struggle. But some how I have managed to keep an optimistic attitude.
I believe that my Heavenly Father has been in my life. Though it has been a struggle, I need to make it known to myself and to others that our Heavenly Father and his Son are watching out for us. I think that my optimism comes from the scriptures.
One particular one has to be D&C 37:7 "...mine eyes are upon you. I am in your midst and ye cannot see me..." I am sure He has been with me through this tough time and is preparing me for what is to come. I believe in Him with all my heart. I know that He cares and is watching out for me.
I know that Satan is real and desires us to be miserable and pessimistic about things. I know the minute we give him even an inch he will take it and try to gain more. I know God loves me, but he loves me too much to leave me the way that I am now.
