BROOKE FOWERS, KENNINGTION WARD
Last year I had a strong witness of what it feels like to abide in the Lord's love. I was dealing with a scary situation where I felt like I had done everything right: I'd followed promptings and I was serving those I loved, but because of someone else's choices I was worried that I would face some pretty hard consequences.
At the lowest point of my trial, I was driving home late at night and had to take a detour because of a road closure. The detour took me right in front of the Ogden Temple. I knew I should have found comfort in that coincidence (because there is no such thing as a coincidence), but I finally broke down and told my Heavenly Father that I didn't understand how I could be in this situation. As I expressed my frustration, I remembered a talk from church the week before about trusting the Lord even (especially) through our trails. And as I prayed, I promised that I would trust in the Lord.
I immediately felt an overwhelming sense of love and reassurance. I knew that no matter what happened, I would be ok. Even if I had to suffer with the consequences of the other person's actions, I knew I could handle it because my Savior loves me and would be with me through it all. As we abide in His love, we are strengthened and protected and can rise above the pains of the world. I'm grateful to have a testimony of this and share it in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
