"The future is as bright as your faith."

Last night I had a bit of a breakdown.  In fact, it was a rather large breakdown.  It stemmed from several frustrations, and fears, and questions, but I think the main thing that was getting me down was the unknown in the future.  Ever since I was a little girl, the unknown has always shaken me, but I have been able to just sort of wait for the surprise of it all.  In just these past few months though, the future has seemed incredibly daunting.  For a few reasons.  I will be making some of the most important, life changing (and even eternity changing) decisions in the next few years, and I can't help but think that I am going to do something wrong.  That is something that I have been trying to tweak in myself.  I know I trust the Lord, and know that He will guide me.  Trusting myself is a whole other question.  What if I miss something?  What if I'm not listening?  What if my heart is not accepting of the will of the Lord?  I've had so many questions about my ability to move my feet so that my Father in Heaven can guide my path.  I picture myself in a very dark room literally being guided by the Savior. I think rather than asking Him if He was guiding me correctly, I would constantly be asking, "am I doing it right?  Am I doing it right?"  However, in these last few months, I have had several reminders that have, in essence, told me that as long as I am doing what's right, those questions (even if those questions are about ourselves) don't need to be asked.  "It's easy to wonder about ourselves sometimes, but we need never wonder about the Lord."  We need to not only believe in Him, but we need to just believe Him.  "The future is as bright as your faith."  That goes for having faith in yourself too.  I imagine much of Doubting Thomas' doubt didn't just come from questioning that the Lord had risen.  I believe much of his doubt came from wondering about himself, and his ability to be a witness of Christ.  How often are we like Thomas?  How often is the lack of enough faith to move forward, actually a lack of faith in ourselves.  That is just as hindering.  Elder Bednar says to just "stop worrying about it."  He explains in his last conference talk that sometimes looking too hard for the answers, gets in the way of seeing the simplicity of the answers that the Lord has already put in front of us. I trust that those answers will be given, but it is just as important for me to trust that I will recognize them.
