my answered prayer


I woke up this morning and said a prayer.
My prayer was simple.


I asked Heavenly Father to help me realize who I am and how I can be happy within myself today. Not forever... just today.
I'm the kind of person that has to look ahead. That has to have a plan. For some reason which will be something I need help with, I can't just enjoy the NOW. So I decided I need to just take things one day at a time for now.


Baby steps right?


Not too hard right?


WRONG!!!


There is so much about myself that's complicated to me.

Who am I?
What do I want?
Why don't I love myself?
and it goes on and on...

But thats not what I wanted to focus on today.


I want to have one day when I truely feel like I am at peace with myself. Just one day.

My 7th day.

My day of rest.


And I can always use the seminary and young women answers.

And so can God.

And today he did...
After my simple short prayer, a song kept popping in my head.


A song I heard a few yrs ago when I was in the YW presidency and it was the theme for that year.
But I couldn't get it out of my head.
So I'm going to post it here while I'm still thinking about it and then I'll have the chance to really ponder on the words later.
Today, this song is the answer to my prayer.
Thank You Heavenly Father.
Thank You


Do you wonder if He knows who you are?
Do you wonder if He knows the secret pleadings of your heart
He has numbered every sand of the sea
And he longs for you to know that He believes in you

Can you feel a quiet power from above?
Can you feel His strength surround you when your own is not enough?
He has blessed you with his spirit from on high
And He longs for you to know it lives inside of you

Oh, be true –

Daughter of a king,
the Father’s royalty
their to His divinity
He’s calling your name
to come and take your place before His throne
He has always known
what he created you to be
A daughter of a king
You hold the promises of all eternity
Rise to claim the noble birthright you were sent here to receive
He has loved you since you lived with Him before
Let Him lead you to the gifts He has in store for you
Oh, be true –
Daughter of a king,
the Father’s royalty
heir to His divinity
He’s calling your name
to come and take your place before His throne
He has always known
what he created you to be
Father’s royalty
heirs to His divinity
He’s calling our names
to come and take our place before His throne
He has always known
what He created us to be
