I have been having a difficult time lately trying to balance everything going on. I also have been filled with the green-eyed monster due to the nature of my job and seeing what others are getting and wondering why I’m not getting the same. I have prayed for help and guidance and this past Sunday in Relief Society the talk was on balancing the many things we as women have on our plates – learning that some of the things can drop without the world coming to an end. And the song we sang was the one below. God may not answer your prayers in the way you were hoping – like a huge windfall! But he does listen – he guides you – and he sends messages that he understands and has heard you.
When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings; name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings; ev’ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.
Count your many blessings; money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.
So amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged; God is over all.
Count your many blessings; angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
