Remember who you are and what you stand for

 Growing up in the world today is not easy for LDS youth. Day after day we are bombarded with lies that, if permitted, will have a negative influence on us. Negativity is one of Satan’s biggest traps. It is far too easy to slip into a state of insecurity. The world is persistent in leading us to believe we are never good enough.
  “{Satan} attempts to focus our sight on our own insignificance until we begin to doubt that we have much worth. He tells us that we are too small for anyone to take notice, that we are forgotten—especially by God.
          You are not forgotten. Wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you with an infinite love.
          Just think of it: You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time!
        God knows that some of the greatest souls who have ever lived are those who will never appear in the chronicles of history. They are the blessed, humble souls who emulate the Savior’s example and spend the days of their lives doing good. At times we may even feel insignificant, invisible, alone, or forgotten. But always remember—you matter to Him!"
