BYU–Hawaii Devotional by Sister Susan L. Gong | March 9, 2025
"Life is a test, and, God understands that. But it is also a process and He understands that too. We are meant to learn from our mistakes and we all make mistakes. That is why, in great love for us, He sent his Only Begotten Son to earth to teach us, to show us how to live, to experience mortality so His compassion for our challenges and difficulties is complete. He sent His Son to atone for our sins. Knowing of the great love of God, our Heavenly Father, and His Son Jesus Christ knowing they have this love for us is not an excuse to make excuses for our own mistakes. It is a reason to try harder with all our heart, might, mind and strength to follow our Savior, to be the people He knows we can become. To love as He loves. To be a force for good in the world."

"Like any other relationship in life, we come to understand the nature of God and establish a foundation of trust by spending time with and having experiences with Him. This is the purpose of covenants. As we make commitments to God and, in turn, allow Him to prove His faithfulness in keeping His commitments to us, we find that He does not let us down. Instead, He shows up again and again."

BYU–Hawaii Devotional by Sister Andrea Muñoz | February 25, 2025
"Our righteousness is a shield in this wicked world. The more righteous we are, the less powerful the enemy is. May the Lord bless you with the strength and power that comes from truly knowing who you are, and by reminding you that as His covenant daughter or son, you can call upon Him and be blessed through His power at any time and any place, in any circumstance. May He bless you to remember that fear comes from the enemy, and sometimes logical thinking leaves no room for miracles."

"Instead of fear, use that spirit of love to love yourself, even in your weaknesses. Use the spirit of a sound mind to view your shortcomings candidly and use them as an opportunity to learn and make adjustments. Then, use the spirit of power to try again and again and again. That is the path to excellence!"

BYU–Hawaii Devotional by Monica S. Kauwe | February 18, 2025
"...Heavenly Father will provide you with personal experiences to help you learn and grow in your own unique way. He knows you individually and loves you unconditionally. Trust in Him, have the courage to follow His will, and trust in your own abilities. Be okay with making mistakes; they are an opportunity for self-discovery and growth.
I invite you to reflect on how you can more fully trust in God’s plan. Is there a challenge you can approach with greater faith? Is there a habit you can improve to strengthen your relationship with Christ? As you take even small steps forward, He will magnify your efforts."

David O. McKay Lecture by Georgi Lukov | February 11, 2025
"Truth and perceptions of truth come to us from all directions. They can give us joy, direction, and certainty or become reasons for confusions, confrontations, and even wars. Some truth is revealed, driven by human curiosity and a deep desire for understanding. It is revealed by observing, testing, and reasoning. This truth can enrich knowledge and propel progress in all aspects of human life. Other truth, however, is reviled and peacefully yet powerfully confirmed, privately and individually, by a still small voice testifying of its validity. This truth, while hard to prove by secular methods, is given to test the true desires of the human heart and shows if we truly want to become like Jesus Christ."

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.

"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."

"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."

"Consecration brings joy, safety, and focus. Consecration empowers us to be, as President David O. McKay said, 'men and women whose influence will be felt for good towards the establishment of peace internationally.'"
