We Do Not Walk Alone

Yesterday was a day full of inspiring messages.  Last night at the General Women's Broadcast from the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City, we heard messages of hope and the Savior's love.  I love what President Thomas S. Monson said:

"Wherever we are in life, there are times when all of us have challenges and struggles.  Although they are different for each, they are common to all.  . . there may be times when you feel detached--even isolated--from the giver of every good gift.  You worry that you walk alone.  Fear replaces faith."

President Monson continued, "When you find yourself in such circumstances, I plead with you to remember prayer.  God's children were not placed on this earth to walk alone.  What an amazing source of power, of strength and of comfort is available to each of us."


I think of my missionary son, and how he looks forward to receiving letters from us, especially at times when he feels discouraged and alone.  He and I are both learning the important eternal principle that Heavenly Father does not leave us alone.  Just as we send letters of love and encouragement to Stephen here on earth,  God continues to give us heavenly inspiration and guidance.

Oh, what comfort this sweet sentence gives!
