Finding His Hand

Today I prayed for recognition in how Heavenly Father helped me in my life today where there was divine intervention and that I could find gratitude for it.  Today it came in the form of a simple prayer I mumbled as I drove home with Jessa after meeting up with a friend.  I hate icy roads, snowy roads... anything other than clear roads really and so I silently and simply asked if Heavenly Father would allow for the lights to be green the entire way home so that I would not have to stop and panic causing our van to fishtail.  As I met the first green light I whispered a prayer of thanks and as the second, then third, fourth, and fifth light all stayed green hitting yellow than red just as I passed through showed me that Heavenly Father was ever mindful of me.  It may seem like such a simple thing but ever since having Jessa I have had panic attacks driving in Edmonton and so it was a blessing the entire way home as each light I met with what I needed it to be to drive with confidence.  Oh how mindful the Lord is of us.  Tonight it was a blessing also to get out of the house as I met with a friend tonight at Starbucks and  away from the daily focus on school, family, and work and focus on helping others.  My friend Fernando and I chatted about our future goals in life and bounced ideas back and forth about what would be our best choices of action.  I helped him fix up his resume and chatted with him about interview questions and he asked me what course of action he should take.  Now he is not a member and so as we talked it was interesting when he asked for advice the first thing I wanted to tell him was to pray and ask Heavenly Father what to do.  But I had to stop myself quickly when I remembered that I don't know exactly where he stands in terms of religion.  This was the gentle reminder that I needed in my own life that Heavenly Father truly does know best and will guide us where we need to go and be.
