A great scripture I discovered....

The day before I left for YW Camp, I was doing that thing where you look through the scriptures looking for a message from God, something to help you know Heavenly Father is aware of you and looking out for you. This approach works for me sometimes works well and sometimes not so much. Anyway, it worked for me this time. This is the scipture I happened upon:
Alma 25:17 This is when Ammon and his brethren met up again and were marveling at the success they had had in helping so many Lamanites be converted to the truth.

And now behold, Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and Himni, and their brethren did rejoice exceedingly, for the success which they had had among the Lamanites, seeing that the Lord had granted unto them according to their prayers, and that he had also verified his word unto them in every particular.

I love the words verified and particular in this verse. When we pray, especially when we are praying for others, it is important to know that Heavenly Father hears our prayers and will verify His word to us in EVERY particular. Particular means detail to me. I think this is another scripture telling us to trust in the Lord and not lean to our own understanding.

I was also thinking that, in a small way, working so hard to make YW Camp a success was like Ammon and his brothers working to bring the Lamanites to the truth. I (and the leaders I work with) were working to bring these YW to the truth.

When I was listening to the sweet testimonies on the last night of camp, I realized that all of the prayers I had offered to God about Camp, He had "verified in every particular". He loves us and He lets us help Him accomplish great things. He could do it so much better Himself, but He lets us help him so that we can grow to be more like Him.
