My Testimony

I am so very thankful to be a member of this church. So my trials and hardships are comforted by knowing the truths that are found within this church. I have testimony of prayer. I know that if we come to God with any question, He will answer it. Maybe not it the way we expect, but He will answer it. I know that often times, when I have prayed to get an answer, I don’t a real yes or no answer; it is more of a feeling of love and warmth and complete peace. I also have a testimony of temples, not just for the sacred covenants and ordinances we make in them but for the feelings I get when I attend the temple. I know that I can go to the temple feeling extremely overwhelmed and walk in and come out feeling whole and at peace. I know that the temple can give you answers to your prayers. Being there brings us one step closer to our Heavenly Father. I also have a testimony of priesthood blessings. Every year before we go to school, our dad gives us our Back to School Father’s Blessings. I love these because they are so special and of course, my dad and I cry the entire time. I am my father’s daughter. I know these blessings are from God. Right before I went to school last fall, I received one from my dad. It was perfect. I don’t know if he knows this but he said exactly what I needed to hear. I know that God does speak to us through other people. Our loving Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need to hear and when we need to hear it. I know that he places people in our lives at certain times for specific reasons. They teach us something new and help us grow. I am so grateful for the Atonement in my life. I know that I can turn to my Savior for anything. He has felt every feeling that I have ever felt. I know that Thomas S. Monson is our prophet today. I can hear the truth that he speaks in his powerful voice. I know this church is true, without a doubt, I know that it is true. I know that families can be together forever. We are blessed with that promise through the temple. Temples are where families are made and I am grateful to know that I will be with mine for eternity.
