Our Heavenly Father is aware of our needs and will help us as we call upon Him for assistance. I believe that no concern of ours is too small or insignificant. The Lord is in the details of our lives.

I testify that each one of us can feel the Lord's inspiration as we live worthily and strive to serve Him.

Often small acts of service are all that is required to lift and bless another: a question concerning a person's family, quick words of encouragement, a sincere compliment, a small note of thanks, a brief telephone call. If we are observant and aware, and if we act on the promptings which come to us, we can accomplish much good.

We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but as they may become.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sends forth to you an earnest appeal. Open your doors to the missionaries. Open your minds to the words of God. Open your hearts, even your very souls, to the sound of that still, small voice which testifies of truth.

May we realize how close to us He is willing to come, how far He is willing to go to help us and how much He loves us.

I ask you to make INSTITUTE a PRIORITY.
