The power of prayer is awe inspiring. It gives me hope to know that I can talk to my father in heaven whenever I need him, when talking to others is not enough. Prayer has changed my life.
I have recently discovered my scriptures for the first time. Yes I had them. Yes, I read them. But, I didn’t understand the effect they had on me until I started to fall away and not read regularly. There is more conten
tion. There is less peace in my life. The scriptures have become my haven when it feels like there is no reason to be who I am and to live. Knowing that other people have stood up for there standards and fought for them just like I am doing now is an amazing example to me.The Living Christ has changed my life, and I have not even finished memorizing it yet. I have become closer to Christ through just reading this sacred document. But, when I started to memorize it, it is a whole different experience. When I am done memorizing this document I will sign my name at the bottom along with those men who wrote this and were called of God. I will sign it saying that I know that this is true and Christ is an amazing person.
In the world today a lot of things are being thrown at us: be skinny, have a clear face, just smoke that one cigarette it won’t hurt you it is only one, just take that drink. But, these are not right. Being ourselves is the best thing. Being the way God created you is the best thing. You and I are beautiful people just the way we are, the image that God had when we were
created. Keeping morals and values high is hard. But, I know that when I do this I am blessed. I have learned that moral cleanliness is very important. It not only brings us closer to the Lord, it also helps us be worthy us being sealed to an eternal companion in the Lord’s temple.I am thankful for being taught at a young age to dress modestly and to not change my values for anything.
I know that this Gospel is the only true and restored Gospel on this earth. I know that if we just open our hearts unto the Lord and have faith in him all things are possible.
Amen
