There are many things that we go through in life that leaves us not knowing what lies ahead of us. Not being able to see the big picture is one the hardest things that we face.

Rely on the Lord during those hard times. Do not fear because we can not see the big picture in the future, instead embrace the opportunities we have to learn and grow during the times of unknown.

The Lord knows everything so we do not need to. If we knew everything we would not have the opportunity to learn and grow. During those hardest times are the moments that we learn and grow the most.After we go through those hard times of not knowing what lies ahead are usually the moments when we receive the greatest blessings.

I know this is true and I know Heavenly Father is aware of each and everyone of us. He loves us and knows us all personally.  Everything that we go through is building us into the person we are supposed to be.

One of the hardest things we are faced with in life is the negative thoughts Satan put into our minds. The only way that those negative thoughts can affect us though is if we let them in. Satan may put things into our minds and try to get us down, but he does not know if what he tries to make us think actually worked or not.

Our mind is like a river. There is always going to be things (thoughts) floating down it. There are good things and also bad things. We must remember that the bad things floating down the river are not thoughts from our Heavenly Father they are from Satan. We have the opportunity to choose if we want to let the bad things keep floating down the river effect us, or just let them keep floating down the river and not grasp onto them.

Always remember where certain thoughts come from. Our Father in Heaven loves us and always wants us to be happy. Hold onto the good thoughts and not the bad negative ones.
