Life is funny sometimes.

I recently had something from the past resurface after YEARS of not thinking about it.  It then proceeded to consume my dreams and my thoughts when I wasn't really thinking about anything.  I knew that the decision I had made back when I made it was the right decision but for some odd reason when it resurfaced I was filled with doubt.  I kept trying to push the memory away thinking it would just go away.  Well after almost a month of it not going away I dropped to my knees and asked Heavenly Father to take away these thoughts.  I again prayed to know if the decision I made was in fact the right decision and I was filled with peace.  I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who is always there to take away my doubts and unwanted feelings.  I'm thankful for the chance we have to move on with our lives and grow and become better people.

Thank you for sharing that Jen. I had a similar experience, well, I'm sure the scenarios are different, but it sounds like something I was going through. I also prayed a lot, and at the same time, I was feeling like a bad person for letting myself be so effected. I went to the temple one night, and as I sat in an arm chair by myself in the celestial room, I felt prompted to move to sit on the couch. At first I didn't because I thought "No, I should let couples sit there" but so strong was the prompting that I finally did move. When I did I saw that I was now sitting directly in front of a picture of Christ that I had not been able to see from where I was before. I was overwhelmed by the Savior's love for me. And it was a very special experience to me, because it let me know that no matter what I was struggling with, my Heavenly Fsther knows me, hears my prayers, and will help me.
