Repentance is the key with which we can unlock the prison from inside. We hold that key within our hands, and agency is ours to use it.

Learn to pray. Pray often. Pray in your mind, in your heart. Pray on your knees. Prayer is your personal key to heaven. The lock is on your side of the veil. And I have learned to conclude all my prayers with ‘Thy will be done’ (Matthew 6:10; see also Luke 11:2; 3 Nephi 13:10).

The Atonement has practical, personal, everyday value; apply it in your life. It can be activated with so simple a beginning as prayer.

Arms now empty will be filled and hearts now hurting from broken dreams and yearning will be healed.

Parents now are concerned about the moral and spiritual diseases. These can have terrible complications when standards and values are abandoned. We must all take protective measures.
