Comfortings of the Spirit

Last month I saw a specialist in Salt Lake to get a diagnosis for the problems I've been having with my ear and with getting Vertigo.  The morning of, my husband and I decided to go through the LDS Salt Lake Temple.  We've never done a session there before so I was very excited to go!

There was a moment during the session when I felt a little off balance/dizzy sort of feeling.  It was a split second but it scared me and I didn't know if I was going to pass out right there in front of everyone.  I started to have a little panic attack.  I didn't tell Paul or anyone what was happening because I didn't want to embarrass myself.  A few minutes later I was still shaking, trying to take deep breaths, when I said a prayer in my mind.  I said, "Dear Heavenly Father, I need Thee to calm me down and comfort me!  I need Thee, in THIS moment, RIGHT NOW!"  Immediately, my body stopped shaking and I calmed right down.  It was the Lord that heard my prayer and blessed me in my time of need. 

Towards the end of that session, during a prayer, words were said that I knew were meant for me!  I knew the Lord knew of my concerns, my need to get an answer that day from the specialist, and my great desire to get over this anxiety that I'd developed over my symptoms.  The spirit was SO strong in that moment that I KNEW, without any doubt, that the Lord was speaking words of comfort directly to me.  I was going to be fine.  Everything was going to be okay!  This was a trial that I would be able to endure with His help. 

Later that day, after my appointment, everything WAS okay!  I'd received the answers I was looking for and the closure of having a diagnosis.  I was able to have the comfort that the Lord was mindful of me in my time of need.

 I KNOW that the Lord is mindful of us.  I KNOW that He is there and that He loves us!  It's not just a wishful thinking.  It's not just my mind hoping for some greater being.  This is a real knowledge!  I've physically felt His comfort and heard the whispering of the Spirit.  No one could ever convince me otherwise!
