I love the devotionals here at BYU-Idaho.
This semester they have helped me out tremendously.
One of my friends was telling me about a devotional given a few weeks ago

Lately I have been making a lot of decisions and choices
as many of us do.
Many times we get an answer that we feel to be right
and then we talk to those around us and they ask
"Are you sure?"
She talked about how Satan uses that as a tool to doubt ourselves.
I am not at all implying that well-meaning people asking that question are associated with satan.
But those feelings of doubt after we have received an answer are.
Once we have received the answer, sometimes it's really challenging to remember that,
when we are faced with doubt and fear.
"We must also learn to trust the still, small voice of the Spirit. Through the priesthood and by the laying on of hands, we have received the privilege of enjoying the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, a member of the Godhead, as we remain worthy."
"Learning to recognize how the Spirit speaks to you in simple daily experiences is crucial. The accuser, even Satan, will attempt to wear you down, planting seeds of doubt, fear, discouragement, and frustration in an attempt to weaken your faith. He will try to fill your mind with feelings of inadequacy and doubt, wanting to keep you from trusting and heeding the promptings from the Holy Ghost that enter your mind and heart even in small and simple things."
"Are you sure?" At times, even a simple small question of doubt can cause us to question ourselves and weaken our resolve. "
