Journal Entry

This world is getting closer and closer to being unmanageable. The news is often depressing when we see that the news media seems so disinterested in reporting actual truth and more interested in distorting truth. And many are influenced by this reporting. Thank heaven we have the church and our Heavenly Father. 

Come Follow Me 

Moses 5: 4 And Adam and Eve, his wife, called upon the name of the Lord, and they heard the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking unto them, and they saw him not; for they were shut out from his presence.

"As “Adam and Eve…called upon the name of the Lord,” a precedent was established. As each of us follows that pattern of prayer, blessings of wisdom and personal peace will ensue.

“Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good.” Pray alone in your closet—in the solitude of your own sanctuary. Pour out the longings of your soul…Let the weight of your innocence be felt as you lovingly motivate others to good works. With your mind so attuned to the Lord and his power, your influence for good becomes immeasurably great. And in this world of sin and temptation, the power of prayer will protect you and be a shield for your loved ones."

Elder Russell M. Nelson, Apostle
