I Know My Father Loves Me! (From Meggan)

I had a sweet experience recently at school. A few weeks ago at our school it was finals week, my first one of my high school career. ;) My Science grade wasn't the best because I did badly on several of the chapter tests we had taken in the semester so I had been pretty stressed out about the final I was taking in that class. The things I had heard from others who had taken that class before with this specific teacher didn't help my confidence at all. :) But, I studied hard the week leading up to it, doing everything I could and taking it very seriously. I also prayed fervently to my Father in Heaven for help in remembering the things that I had learned, and in doing well on the test. I said a prayer the day of the final right before I started it and I felt a feeling of peace that came from Heavenly Father. I took the test and I felt very good about it (this didn't really tell me anything, though, because I had felt good about several tests that I had taken before and then failed...). A couple of days later I found out my grade and it was better than the grade I had received on any of the other regular chapter tests I had taken that semester! I know that my Heavenly Father helped me out so much on that test. I know that He loves me and cares for me because he cared enough to give me strength and remembrance for a test; a small thing in His eyes, I am sure. :) I also know that if you pray with real intent and do everything you can then Heavenly Father will help you. I know He is mindful of each of us and the little things in our lives. I am grateful for this experience and how it has strengthened my testimony of Heavenly Father's love for me. :)
