“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Sister Bonnie H. Cordon – Second Counselor in the Primary General Presidency has shared three ways to increase our knowledge and trust in the Savior. These principles can help us to be centered on and focused on our Savior Jesus Christ, rather than leaning to our own understanding.
1 – Come to know the Lord and trust Him as we follow the counsel found in 2 Nephi 32:3 “…feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.”
2 – Come to know the Lord and trust Him through prayer. Moroni 7:48 counsels us to “Pray unto the Father will all the energy of heart.”
3 – Come to know the Lord and trust Him as we serve others.
“We are on earth to demonstrate the same trust in Him that allowed us to stand with Jesus Christ when He declared, “Here am I, send me” (Abraham 3:27)
