For one of my classes I have to make 2 daily goals, mine today were: make it out alive, and see the Lords hand in all that I do today.
These past two days have been very stressful for me. Yesterday I had about 6 hours of homework, Biggest Winner workout, studying for a chem test, and a chem lab to do. I went to the temple in the morning with Marie, and then came home took a shower, went to class, went to devotional, ate lunch, did some homework (not all of it), then realized that I had signed up to clean the I-Center that night (7-9) and then once I was done with that, went to the library and did homework, and tried to accomplish my lab which didn't happen. I was stressing out major, and didn't know what to do. Then in my Doctrine and Covenants homework that I was doing I found these comforting verses,
Doctrine and Covenants 84: 83-85
For your Father, which is in heaven, knoweth that you have need of these things.
Therefore, let the morrow take a thought for the things of itself.
Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man.
During that day, I was wondering if I would have the time to be able to do all the things that I needed to, but when I read this, I felt like I would, and that God would prepare a way for me to be able to study for my test and get all my homework done. I just needed to do what was due first then work my way down the line, and if I did it that way, then I would be able to get everything done.
I was also worried today because I still had to finish the lab, and take the test. Then in Doctrine and Covenants class today, Brother Williams said many things that calmed my heart. One of them was "When you do God's work, you get God's pay" I was worried yesterday that because I had failed to remember that I was cleaning the I-Center that would knock a lot of time off my hands, and also because I went to the temple in the morning and went to devotional. But, I know that because I put God first and did his work, that he rewarded me with the things that I needed, and more.
