Heavenly Father is Cheering You On!

Charmayne Packer

President Hinckley have a talk in October 2003 titled , ‘To The Woman of the Church’ . In that talk, he said,

“Well, you dear women, I say thanks to you. Thank you for being the kind of people you are and doing the things you do. May the blessings of heaven rest upon you. May your prayers be answered and your hopes and dreams become realities.

You serve so well in the Church. You think it is so demanding. It is. But with every responsibility fulfilled, there comes a great reward.

Many of you think you are failures. You feel you cannot do well, that with all of your effort it is not sufficient.

We all feel that way. I feel that way as I speak to you tonight. I long for, I pray for the power and the capacity to lift you, to inspire you, to thank you, to praise you, and to bring a measure of gladness into your hearts.”

I love this talk. There are many times in my life that I feel inadequate or like I’m failing. But, I believe that just like President Hinckley, our Heavenly Father is there cheering us on. He knows us and is grateful for everything that we are doing. He will be with us and bless us as we continue on the covenant path.
