Ok, ok, it's not really about the type of missionary work that I'm doing now, but it's an awesome song that puts into words how many of us felt when we chose to go on a mission. Hopefully it inspires you to make a change, to help someone in need, or share the Gospel with your friends!
Just like it says, "I am clay in your hands", I know our Heavenly Father is shaping us into the people He knows we can be. Sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's super hard, and sometimes we may wonder why, but I know He will never let us suffer alone.
When Joseph Smith and his brother were incarcerated in the Liberty Jail, they endured many things that seem almost impossible while their families and the other Saints were driven out of their homes in the middle of winter. Just as they were about to lose all hope, Joseph uttered this prayer: "O God, awhere art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy bhiding place?"
And this is how the Lord responded: "My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes." (D&C 121: 1, 7-8)
God knows all, and He will help us, if we just learn to listen and rely on Him.
