My Heavenly Father Loves me Part 5

I have this deepest appreciation for Doctrine and Covenants. It provided answers to my prayers in multiple occasions. The first time was when I was reading section 76:22-24, I got this thought that this was true and then I had this chain reaction that Joseph Smith was called of God to re-establish the Church of Jesus Christ and that the Book of Mormon is true. I knelt down afterwards and prayed to know if those inspirations were correct and I had the most amazing experience ever.

Today, I was at work and was feeling a little bit...weird (if you read the post before this one, you would know what I mean). So I decided to read the scriptures. I went straight to Doctrine and Covenants and flipped through some pages until I got to section 76. I stopped there and started to read. Verses 1-10 were exactly what I needed but I want to talk about these verses:
2 Great is his wisdom, marvelous are his ways, and the extent of his doings none can find out.
3 His purposes fail not, neither are there any who can stay his hand.
5 For thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.
10 For by my Spirit will I enlighten them, and by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will—yea, even those things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man.
They reminded me that the Lord is always mindful of me and that I will never be able to find out what He has in store/mind for me. However, if I "fear" Him and "honor" His servants, then He will bless me with the "secrets of [His] will." I've been praying for a short while to know His will and His desires for me but I've been feeling like I am in a middle of nowhere with no roads/paths and no signs. I am stuck. I don't know where to go. I don't know what to do. So these verses gave me hope and assurance that God still loves me and takes care of me. He is mindful of me to lead me to these verses and to inspire me to understand them. Heavenly Father does love me and I am so grateful for His tender mercies.
