In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.

The more we incline our hearts and minds toward God, the more heavenly light distills upon our souls. Gradually, things that before seemed hazy, dark, and remote become clear, bright and familiar with us.

To follow Christ is to become more like Him. It is to learn from His character. As spirit children of our Heavenly Father, we do have the potential to incorporate Christlike attributes into our life and character. The Savior invites us to learn His gospel by living His teachings. To follow Him is to apply correct principles and then witness for ourselves the blessings that follow.

You may feel burdened by worry, fear, or doubt. To you and to all of us, I repeat a wonderful and certain truth: #God's light is real. It has the power to soften the sting of the deepest wound. It can illuminate the path before us and lead us through the darkest night into the promise of a new dawn.

Healing comes when we choose to walk away from darkness and move towards a brighter light.

Life is not only meant to be appreciated in retrospect ... There is something each day to embrace and cherish.

The acorn of honest inquiry has often sprouted and matured into a great oak of understanding.
