Devotional Talk by Dean Andersen | February 4, 2025

"I would submit to you, my young friends, that it is worth the time and our greatest efforts to work to qualify for all the richest blessings that God has in store for us. Don’t short-change yourself by choosing an easier path. The greatest blessings are reserved for those that are willing to work through hard challenges and do hard things. If we shy away from work, we limit God’s ability to bless us. As Sister Andersen beautifully explained, work is a key part of God’s plan and is a blessing, as well as being a prerequisite to all the greatest blessings God desires to give us."

I know that work is a blessing from God, and I am eternally grateful to have learned the joy of work. It is a fundamental principle of salvation, both spiritual and temporal.
Devotional Talk by Elder D. Todd Christofferson | January 28, 2025

"May we be resolved to measure to our duties and opportunities in our time and season as those who have gone before measured to theirs. Let us take inspiration from them and their legacy and join their spiritual aristocracy, not by any right of inheritance, but by serving the Lord as they did, and by being true to all that is entrusted to us by God as they were true."

Devotional Talk by President Camille A. Johnson | January 28, 2025

"And I trust that all of us have something we can work on to improve our relationship with the Savior. If you sincerely ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, to know what windage is creating a strain on that connection, I know that the Holy Ghost will communicate it to you. But you must ask, and then be willing to accept and act upon the answer you receive. Perhaps with a prayer in your heart, something will come to you today and you’ll know just how to batten down your hatches in preparation for life’s storms."

Devotional Talk by Heina Hanohano | January 21, 2025

"As you go through the difficulties you have been called upon to experience, I challenge you to change your perspective by asking yourself these two questions: Am I focusing my time and energy on what matters most? And what lesson does Heavenly Father need me to learn from this experience? Record the answers in your journal or keep them in a note on your phone. Use it as a reference the next time you are experiencing difficulties. Let it nourish and strengthen your testimony. Let it also be a reminder that you are not forgotten. The Lord will bear you up."
