President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency was the closing speaker in the General Women’s Session. He spoke of the universal need for all of us to feel peace in our lives. This was promised by the Savior to His disciples but that it would come in the Lord’s way, rather than in the world’s way.
The Lord’s way of providing peace is by the power of the Holy Ghost.
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:26–27).
One of the greatest gifts we can have is the gift of remembrance – to remind us of those times when we have been comforted and felt close to our Heavenly Father. It is those memories of sacred experiences that can lift us when we face trials and opposition.
When have you felt the Holy Ghost comfort you recently?
We would love you to share your experiences with us.
