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.”

Trust in the Lord and Lean Not – Bonnie H. Cordon

“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)
