Today I felt rather overwhelmed by the the coursework immediately before me and the significant decisions and academic work in the not-too-distant future. There is so much I need to do, so much I want to do, and so much I feel I need to do. I began to pray for help, until it came to my mind to pray for other people. Immediately my own burdens felt lighter because I felt less selfish. I felt more love for those around me.
Then later tonight, I had the opportunity to visit a friend who had similar concerns. As we prayed and talked together, my friend felt that what she needed to do was to remember that God is there and that He will help her in her situation as she does the things He asks her to do. This answer was an answer to her prayers and to mine. In essence, we were reminded to remember God, and to remember all those we are blessed to be of service to, and to remember that the highest priority should be to love and to serve God and His children.
