We're going to make it!

This post is short and sweet but I hope that maybe it will be something that someone who is reading this needed to hear. I was reading my scriptures yesterday and I was reading 3 Nephi 13. And I was hit with the spirit when I read verses 30-34. And this is what it says,

(30) "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, even so will he clothe you, if ye are not of little faith. (31) Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (32) For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. (33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. (34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morning shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient is the day unto the evil thereof."

When I read this, it was exactly what I needed to hear. For the past few months I have been struggling with finding jobs and then once I get some jobs I have been struggling to get enough hours. So basically I have been struggling in the money making area. Now it didn't concern me too much at first because I am living for free at home right now and not spending any money. But then I started to think about this fall. How I have school to pay for, rent, utilities, books, groceries, and you get the idea. I seriously had a mini panic attack. There was no way I was going to make enough money for all that! But as the weeks have gone on I have been able to make some money and I am slowly realizing that it's ok, I'll make it somehow. Well yesterday when I read these verses, I was reaffirmed that I would be ok. Heavenly Father knows all of our needs. He knows that we all have to survive somehow. That we need food to eat and clothes to wear and gas for our cars and things like that. No he isn't going to just hand all that to us, but he won't desert us either. He will give us the opportunities to receive those things. Some people are blessed with great jobs, others are blessed with family members who can help them out. Some of us have to struggle a little more and its not because Heavenly Father loves us less, but that he wants us to learn something and once we do learn it, the blessings we receive afterwards will outweigh the struggle by far. We all just need to stay righteous, make good choices, come to Christ and continually pray to our Father in Heaven. And if we do these things, I promise and honestly believe that we all will be taken care of.

And funny thing; I remember last summer I had the same problem and worries. And look, everything worked out and I am just fine :)
