Sustained by His Love

Ye Kyung Koo, Korea

When I received the calling to serve as the student activities leader, I felt completely overwhelmed. I was shy and knew it would be difficult for me to plan activities. Feelings of inadequacy, nervousness, and depression consumed me.

In desperation I turned to Heavenly Father. “How can I do this?” I prayed. “I am small and weak.”

Right then, a peaceful, small whisper entered my heart: “Go, my daughter. I love you.”

That response from a loving Father strengthened me. Empowered by that prompting, I felt I could do anything. Knowing that He is aware of me, that He loves me, and that He will sustain me was all I needed to fulfill my calling effectively.

I know that whatever our struggles, Heavenly Father loves us and hears our prayers. As we go to Him, we can receive direction and encouragement as we strive to fulfill our callings.
