Tender Mercies

Have you ever had one of those moments where you know the Holy Ghost has spoken to you, where you know Heavenly Father has answered your prayers? It's one of the moments you want to remember, to etch it in your brain for the next time.  I was blessed enough to have one of those yesterday.


I was applying for a new job.  I wasn't sure if it was Heavenly Father's will that I get this job, but I got down on my knees.  I prayed with all the power of my soul that I would know the things I should say, that I would have peace, that I would be confident, and that I would be able to share the light of Christ with the interview panel if it was His will for me.  I was so nervous as I was handed the questions I was to review for the next 15 minutes before I sat before the panel who would critique every word I said.  As I sat there writing my thoughts on that paper, the ideas and impressions flowed to my mind.  Before the time was up, I was confident on what I would talk about, but nervous to enter the room.  My time was up and as I walked in the room and looked at the 5 people who would determine my fate, a complete and utter calm washed over me.  I was able to think clearly and answer the questions without hesitation.  I was perfectly me!!


As I walked out of the room I couldn't help feel relieved, but more importantly so grateful for the tender mercy that Heavenly Father had shown to me.  In my moment of need He was there.  He lifted me up and He spoke peace to my soul.  I'm so thankful for this gospel, for answered prayers and for a loving Father who is always there when we need Him.
