This thought crossed my mind today and I share it with the hope that it will bring someone peace:

Turn to Jesus Christ and find solace from your pain. Let his atonement heal you and bring you peace. Maybe you have this hard trial because you are one of the holiest people of all and Heavenly Father wants to know where you stand, no matter what you face. The best thing you can do for yourself is develop a friendship with the Savior. Let it be personal. He is *your* friend and the only one who truly understands. Don’t be afraid of who you are.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Marriane Williamson
