A few months ago I had a really eye-opening conversation with my sister. I was really stressed out about choosing the wrong major, not meeting the people I'm supposed to meet, and/or receiving bad grades so I can't get into my prospective major choice. The advice she gave me can basically be summed up in 1 Nephi 9:6 which says "But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it is. Amen."
Basically, all of these worries I'd been having were about things out of my control. Having these specific worries wasn't going to change the outcome and I just needed to trust that God knew what was going to happen throughout my life and He was guiding things into place. I knew I'd have to stay in tune with the spirit if I wanted to receive these careful promptings, but other than that I just needed to remember that God knows, loves, and cares about me so I need to trust in his infinite wisdom and know that He'll be there to help me make tough decisions because He actively cares about me - just like a parent does. He's my loving Heavenly Father and He will help me with any struggles I'm facing. All I need to do is ask for His help and prayerfully listen for His quiet answers because He hears every single prayer.
