Courage, it's an act of Faith

Ok, truth be told I had one of the worst weeks this week. But honestly i don't think anyone really knew that. Im sure someone picked up on my worst day but all in all this week was terrible and I am so thankful that it is over. I guess the nice part of it all is that it went by fairly fast. It just sucks because I didn't feel like myself and I felt like all week I had zero motivation to do anything, however, I am thankful for the people in my life this week that spent a few extra minutes talking to me and showing me that they cared.
Last night I was doing some homework and my homepage on my internet is lds.org and this weeks mormon message was on courage. Do You Have The Courage To Trust God?
So I watched the video, and if you would like to too heres the link Having Courage & Trusting The Lord ... Its just 3 minutes. Or you can just watch it here!  
                                    

The video is of Ester and 3 Courageous women who each go through difficult trials in their lives. They share of their stories, and things that they learned from their experiences. Everyone has trials and things in their life that don't go as planned. We each need to have courage. We each need to have Faith. We each get a variety of challenges and we all have to face them, to put our best foot forward and continue to do the best that we can. My favourite line from the message was that "we dont ever realize how strong we are until strong is all that we have left... ... Being brave doesnt mean that we arent afraid. Brave is just acting in faith."
In our difficult situations rarely do we know what the Lord is trying to teach us but if we really trust Heavenly Father it shouln't matter what we know. Gods plan is always better, and as long as we have faith in Him, everything will work out.
I have the Courage to trust God. I know that sometimes its hard but if I continue to pray to Him, He will hear my cries, and He will answer them. I know that if I am as strong and as virtuous as Ester I will be able to get through these trials.
