Today was a great day. As I was driving my 24 miles to work as I do daily, I was talking with Father. I reiterated my morning prayers and reminded Father of the decision I made with His direction about not seeking another job. I explained to Father that I was exercising faith in Him and the blessings we desire. I told Him about still planning on going on a mission in more than 200 days. I softly asked that He would do something, or command me, or whisper to me what to do to resolve the financial challenge of not having money to serve.
Then, after we discussed those subjects, I decided that I would surely appreciate a few sweet "touches" from Father's hand. In other words, I asked that during the day I would feel His influence in my life, His confirmation, or His love during the day. I know that He is constantly there and can, if He desires, give me inspiration daily, and as often as He wants. I asked Him to touch my Spirit a few times so I could feel that I was on the right track, that He knew where I was, what was happening in my life, and most importantly, I would feel His love for me.
That is why it was a great day. As I arrived at work, I opened the front door as I always do and felt His touch. He let me know that He is there and aware of me and what is happening. I felt that influence, and it was wonderful. Then during the day, I quietly asked him to touch my mind and help me memorize some of the music I am supposed to know for the group we sing in. He did just that for as I passed over it a few times, I felt that I would learn it, that the Spirit would help me remember it, etc. It was another witness from my Father.
Then, one last time during the waning hours of the afternoon, I was trying to figure out how to solve a personnel problem and the insight what to say, and how to say what needed to be said to that employee. It turned out better than I thought it would, again bearing witness to me again of His attention to my every moment of life. As I was confronted with that problem, I remembered my supplication on the way to work, said a private little prayer and received the inspiration I needed to handle that challenge.
As I finish off the day tonight, I must admit that this day was not full of the daily questioning of my present circumstances, financial challenges, decisions I did make and wondering if they were correct, nor any mental or Spiritual discomfort. I attribute it to the few minutes I spent discussing with Father on the way to work asking for His inspiration during the day. I attribute it to the desire to listen to His Spirit, His whispers into my attuned ears and heart. I attribute it to the constant love Father has for me. I would assume if I prepare myself each day, asking for that constant witness of His love and watch for it, the events of today could and should be an every day occurrence.
