The Holy Ghost helped me find a job.

By Laura P.

This past fall after I graduated from BYU-Idaho, I was struggling to find a job. For a while, it felt like I was filling out application after application without any leads. I contacted my ward’s employment specialist, hoping for some tips and advice of going about this job hunt. It was humbling for me to ask for help from someone I barely knew, but I desperately needed a job. The employment specialist was a great help to me, helping to me see what I needed to improve upon and how to go about doing it.

 One morning as I was getting ready for a job interview, I had a quiet but clear thought that I should stop by this one building after my interview. My interview came and went; afterwards I had that same quiet but clear thought of stopping on that building. So I drove to the building, parked the car and walked in.

Once I was in this building I didn’t know where to go or what to say; a kind lady directed me to an office. I walked in and the lady that was working there asked if she could help me. I quickly explained that I’m a recent college grad and was wondering if there were any volunteer opportunities.

The lady replied that they were actually hiring and asked if I wanted to fill out an application. I was excited and knew that I was prompted to come to this building, not knowing why but trusting in that prompting from the Holy Ghost.

I sat down and began to fill out an application, and within a week I was hired.

I’m grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who helps me with my spiritual as well as temporal needs. I’m grateful for the guidance, comfort and promptings I’ve received through the Holy Ghost in my life.

 Matthew 10:29-31:

from lds.org

29 Are not two ^asparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 

30 But the very ^ahairs of your head are all numbered. 

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more ^avalue than many^bsparrows.

How has Heavenly Father taken care of you in your time of need?
