Here is an experience I had yesterday:

Yesterday I was sitting outside with my children.  I was reading a book, not my scriptures right then, just another book I'm reading on motherhood.  I was reading, but as usual, my mind was drifting to the future and how badly I want certain things to fall into place.  Suddenly I was overwhelmed with complete, pure peace.  It hit me hard, and I had to close my book and close my eyes and just sit there.  For that quick moment, I just felt 100% knowledge the the Lord knows exactly who I am, exactly what my desires are, and I felt His love and warmth giving me peace and assurance that everything will be okay.  I felt like for just a few moments, I was briefly lifted up away from the present, away from the world, and I was given a big hug from my loving Father.  Then I was put back down, and back to reality.  It probably only lasted a few seconds, but it was very, very real.  It was an amazing moment that I hope I never forget.
