The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that we can talk to Him anywhere – any time – anyone can pour their hearts out to the Creator. All we have to do is focus our thoughts, and bam! instant divine reception. The signal is never jammed or busy.
There is no way to avoid trials and difficult circumstances in life. The problem begins to arise when we are constantly thinking and remembering negative experiences, while ignoring and missing out on the good happening around us. The joy we could experience in this life can be clouded and hidden by our mind refusing to let go of the darkness it’s seen.
I want to be ALL IN. I want to pitch my tent near the temple, and facing the temple. I want my heart fixed on the Lord and the covenants I have made with Him in His holy house. I want to leave the enticements of the world far behind me…without ever longingly looking back.
Our bodies need continual temporal nourishment to survive and thrive. Offering a prayer each time we eat can turn our mind to constant spiritual nourishment.
Infertility is one of the many unspoken struggles in this world and within the gospel. It’s okay to hurt. Please know that God loves you and, while answers and opportunities may never come in this life, He will never give up on you
He is intimately involved in the details of our lives. He loves us. He did not spin us out of a primordial soup and then leave us be. He cares about us. He is our Father.
We need to remember that while we have no control over the many afflictions we will face in this life, we do have control over how we react to them. A good attitude can change a heart wrenching trial into a learning experience. A good attitude can change a resentful, unforgiving heart into a loving and Christlike heart. It really is that simple. Change your attitude, change your mindset, and change your life!

I can choose to focus on the road, the major flaw in an otherwise quite perfect setup. Or I can pause and rest in His mercies.
The priesthood is the power and authority of God delegated to man on earth. It is through this priesthood that blessings are given.
As believers in Jesus Christ, we want to be known by HIS name. We are Christians and we want the world to know it. Using our correct name is one way we can do that.
He has felt our pain. He weeps with us. If we allow him, He can ease our burden. When we are weak, he can strengthen us. When we are broken, He can mend us. When we are sick, He can heal us. When we are half, He can make us whole. When there is a storm, He promises calm, so how can we doubt?
You can learn facts and details about Jesus Christ. But to really get to know who He is, you must spend time on your knees, in prayer.
When depression or doubt or demons have tried to grab ahold of us, the divine pattern of reflecting, recording, and remembering can help bring us back-back to the loving arms of an amazing Father in Heaven and a powerful Jesus Christ.
I believe that that a loving Heavenly Father created this beautiful world for us, his spirit sons and daughters. I believe he will send his spirit to help us when we ask, but we also need to do our part and follow the commandments he has given us.
It seems that so many in my circle have been touched by death in recent months. I’ve heard it said that Heaven’s recruitment plan is a little steep right now. I’ve learned much about mourning with those that mourn as others have voluntarily joined me in my pain…
Satan tries to persuade me that the messy choices my loved ones make are BAD, but he is JUST PLAIN WRONG. Loving my children as they exercise their agency is not bad, it is Christlike. Continuing to share my testimony in ways the spirit prompts me to is empowering. Giving them a soft place to fall is what my Jesus does for me.
In this life, none of us are exempt from challenges, difficulties, sorrow and disappointment. Each of us will have our own difficult mountains to climb and each of us will also have moments when we are tempted to sit down and declare, “I would rather die on this mountain than take one more step.” It is during those times that we need to dig deep and find the resilience that we need to move forward, knowing that our Savior is with us every step of the way.
They were firm and steadfast through the night. Despite the boredom. Despite the lack of tangible results. Despite the fact that they were most likely very lonely, underappreciated, and unseen. Despite it all, they were loving and protecting and continuing with their little flock. And they got to know Jesus.
As we humble ourselves and look towards God for guidance, we can receive blessings beyond what we could have imagined for ourselves. Take the time to self-reflect and do something about it today!
