Feelings

Feelings (emotions):  We humans are distinguished from other of God's creations to have this blessing and/or curse because we experience the sad, mad, happy times in our lives.  Many of us also suspect that animals experience that also.  And perhaps they communicate those feelings with each other and with us.

Here is a "lifting up" maneuver, for example, for when we are feeling confused.    
From a recent Ensign, we are reminded that the Savior knows what we are going through.  Through the Atonement he, too, felt our "pain".  We can rely on Him to pull us through hard times.  

 For example, are any of us feeling the confusion and the cloud of uncertainty as a result of the Corona virus pandemic?  Joseph Smith felt like that when, as a 14 year old boy, he was confused about what action he should take in reference to the many conflicting religious dogmas that were being preached in his community.  He relates this story to us in the record, Joseph Smith--History 1:5-20.  He asked God what he should do and he got an answer!  This simple, direct prayer in the woods led to the Restoration of the Lord's Church which had been missing from the earth for centuries!  When I'm confused, I can pray to God and He will answer me.  Here are some scripture blocks (From a recent Ensign magazine), that will support that belief; you might want to print them out, then laminate them so you can carry them around with you, for easy reference.

James 1:5; Luke 1:37; Mosiah 26:13; Ether 2:16 through 3:6

"For after much ^atribulation come the ^bblessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be ^ccrowned with much ^dglory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand." (Doctrine and Covenants 58:4). 

We learn through seeking, asking, and experiencing life's challenges.
