The Spirit is Awesome!!

You ever have one of those days at church were it felt like every meeting was just what you needed to hear. Well I definitely had that today it was awesome. I have been going through a rough patch for quite sometime, I would say the past two years or so. I've always been pretty certain of what direction I want my life to take ie. career goals, personal growth, spiritual progression etc. however the past couple of years have been difficult. I am in that awkward phase of life where I am emerging from a young woman to a woman and it scares the hell out of me! I graduate in May and it feels like once I graduate the real world aka responsibilities are going to come pounding at my front door. I wish I had "no trespassing" sign or something. Anyway relevance to church today, I am a very independent/stubborn person. I'm not one to share my hardships and seek help. At one point I sought divine help and to me didn't really get anything out of it. So I kind of felt alone in dealing with my fears and problems about life. Well at church it was reiterated in every meeting that God is basically mindful of me and sometimes He trust us to handle life's problems on our own. I'm still trying/learning to reach out to Him but I am also learning that I can't expect Him to do the work for me or expect Him to simply give me an answer, I must put in work. Faith requires action.

"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.
Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;
For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves..."
D&C 58:26-28
