Confide in God Unwaveringly – Ulisses Soares

Elder Ulisses Soares of the Presidency of the Seventy shared the story from the Book of Mormon of the people of King Limhi. They determined to.. “turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, … and serve him with all diligence of mind” (Mosiah 7:19). As a result of their faith, they were promised that “ … he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.” (Mosiah 7:33)

Life is full of difficult times and circumstances, and as we turn to God with “full purpose of heart” we can be given the strength to deal with these circumstances.

“If we are steadfast and do not waver in our faith, the Lord will increase our capacity to raise ourselves above the challenges of life. We will be enabled to subdue negative impulses, and we will develop the capacity to overcome even what appear to be overwhelming obstacles.”

Our Father’s Glorious Plan – Weatherford T. Clayton

Elder Weatherford T. Clayton of the Seventy has shared an inspiring message about the plan of our Heavenly Father for each of us. While the world often sees birth as the beginning and death as the end, these are simply significant milestones during our eternal progression. As a part of Heavenly Father’s plan for us, we needed to experience mortality as a time of experience, learning and growth.
Elder Clayton shared the three pillars of Heavenly Father’s plan.
First – the Creation of the Earth which establised the setting for our mortal experience.
Second – the Fall of Adam and Eve. Even though many see this as a tragic event, it enabled each of us to receive a body. “Adam fell that men might be; and men are that they might have joy” (2 Nephi 2:25). We also have the gift of agency – or the power to choose and act for ourselves rather than be acted upon.
Third – the Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Heavenly Father knew that we would not always make the right choices and so a Savior was provided to enable us to be cleansed from sin. It also includes the universal gift of becoming resurrected after death.
