Today, I think has been in itself a major test of faith. I woke up late this morning and forgot to pray like I do every morning. That was a major flaw on my part, especially as I never forget to pray in the morning. So on my way to school, while walking, I closed my eyes and bowed my head to pray. I always pray, especially for my family and Elders Coy and Eberle. While most people may shrug off a forgotten prayer or two, I cannot. It is just not something I am capable of. I get these massive amounts of guilt when I don't pray.
Today, our test of faith began with finding out that unfortunately, it would seem that Elder Coy might not be where the Lord wants him to be. He keeps passing out and it's truly been worrisome for us all. We all tried fasting one day as a desperate call to our Heavenly Father for help. It seemed like it started to work. The other day, Elder Coy didn't pass out at all and that was awesome. But today, he passed out and then went to the doctors. He found out that if the solution they gave him doesn't work in 2 weeks then he will have to return home.
Today, I learned that we truly must have faith in God. We must also know that He has a plan for us and if we ask Him, He will help us get there. We need remember that God knows that's best for us. In Elder Coy's case, God may want him home, that may be the plan for him. We don't know. We must have faith that God knows what He is doing.
Elder Eberle provided me with a wonderful definition of faith. He said "Faith is not believing that God can. It's knowing that He will." We know that our Heavenly Father will take care of us. After all, we are His children and He loves us very much.
