The Tender Mercies of the Lord

But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.(1 Nephi 1:20)

 "...the Lord's tender mercies are the very personal and individualized
          blessings,
          strength,
          protection,
          assurances,
          guidance,
          loving-kindnesses,
          consolation,
          support, and
          spiritual gifts 
which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ.  truly the Lord suits 'his tender mercies according to the conditions of the children of men.' (D&C 46:15)"  - Elder David A. Bednar, an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, April 2005 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"...the Lord's tender mercies do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence.  Faithfulness and obedience enable us to receive these important gifts, and frequently, the Lord's timing helps us to recognize them." (- Elder Bednar)

Every day God reaches down His all-powerful hand and touches each of our lives.  Think about it...

What tender mercies has the Lord given  YOU today?
