Don’t despair when you feel yourself doubting. There’s no need to fear. You have the power to change your doubts into questions by seeking answers from the One who is the source of all truth.
If I am to seek Him. I must look for Him and choose to be and dwell where He is.
It’s ok to be sad and hopeful and faithful all at the same time. There is nothing wrong with you.
Often, Heavenly Father directs us to do something that is hard and may not make sense at first. But, if we will trust Him, we will be able to look back one day and see how His plan made a positive change in our life.
We’re not alone. Storms can bring the peace of feeling close to our Savior. They can help us to come to know His true character. And maybe, as we come to see the growth and purpose in them, they can even be enjoyed.
A ministering assignment in the church is a request to hold special watch care over certain individuals or families. When the system works properly, everyone in the congregation is watching over someone, and everyone is being watched over by someone.
When I think of the trials I face in my life today, I am buoyed up by the examples of my predecessors.
All we do in families and in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is aimed to help each other get to the temple to make covenants and participate in holy ordinances with the Lord! This is the point! Then, we work to keep these covenants.
Heavenly Father speaks to us through the Holy Ghost. His voice is soft and gentle. It is not preceded by megaphones and handwritten posters. You will not see His message in a news ticker at the bottom of your TV screen. How the Holy Ghost speaks to us is individual for everyone. So, it is up to us to figure out just how we hear the Holy Ghost.
Having spiritual grit is critical in today’s world. It is our choice whether or not we remain true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The actions we take each day will either bring us closer to Jesus Christ or further from Him.
We’ve all said and done things that are hurtful-intentional or not. We can repent. We can ask God to help us humble ourselves and ask for forgiveness. I’ve discovered that the sooner I ask, the easier it is. However, even if it’s a long time coming, it is better late than never.
The experiences of this life are for our benefit and learning. They were never meant to be easy. I am grateful to know that in a future day I will rest from earthly cares and be reunited with those I miss.
The worth that God has assigned to us is a constant. It cannot ever change, because God is an unchangeable Being.
The temple is a place that empowers and uplifts; when you enter, the world fades away and you feel divinity coursing through your soul.
Believing, or having faith, is a cardinal principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We must have faith that following the commandments of God will bring us closer to His presence. We must have faith that His gospel is true. We must have faith in Him to be saved by Him.
Only Jesus Christ can offer us the peace we seek. Learn of Him. Let His love saturate your heart. Let His teachings guide you.
In life, we often fail. We mess up. We make mistakes. And frequently we are hard on ourselves because of that. But just because we fail, doesn’t mean we are failures. And just because we make mistakes, doesn’t mean we are lost.
I realized that I could thrust the mess of that moment into His hands and He could work miracles. And He did! He helped me show up when I didn't feel like I could. He magnified my efforts and made them enough.
So, when Jesus taught his disciples to be perfect, he meant something completely different than what we in the world now might imagine. He didn’t expect us to never make a mistake. He didn’t expect us to speak, act, and be the finished product He helped designed us to be----YET.
