You're Not Alone

 During this season of Thanksgiving and gratitude, something for which we are eternally grateful for is the Atonement. It is a gift that touches and blesses every aspect of our lives.

Let us not forget that He knows on a very intimate and personal level, all that we experience here in mortality. He knows just how we feel, for He felt it too in the Garden. He knows the precise height of our joys, as well as the exact depth of our sorrows. He didn't abandon us in the midst of His agonizing sacrifice, and you can bet He won't abandon us now. He loves us deeper than we can comprehend, and will forever be by our side. During the difficulties, let us remember these comforting and powerful words:

"Even during the hardest moments of your life, when your powerlessness seems absolute and your isolation total, you are not alone. The Savior is with you... Your survival and even your triumph are assured through His atoning sacrifice and love." -Chieko Okazki
