Devotional by President Henry B. Eyring | November 22, 2022
"I have felt today, and in the many times I have come to this place, that people here have lived to qualify for [the gift of the Holy Ghost.] That is why it feels to me as if I am in a sacred time and in a sacred place. The feeling in this place must draw from us a deep gratitude for those who came before us. Many of you know far better than I what transpired in the past, and what you need to do to leave that gift for those who follow."

Devotional by Benjamin Jordan | November 15, 2022
"Today’s mists of darkness are the philosophies of the world that lead us away from spiritual truths. They are insidious and are often hidden in so-called “well-meaning” questions. They often try to manipulate our righteous desires, to turn them to support or uphold ideas in conflict with the Gospel. They may be arguments to justify choosing a political or social position over the recommendations or teachings of the prophet or the scriptures."

Devotional by Sheri Dew | November 1, 2022
"Apostles are under divine mandate to teach truth, even when truth is unpopular. They are pressured to change the Lord’s doctrine to make it more palatable, but the doctrine doesn’t belong to them and is not theirs to change. They’re accused of being out of touch, but I know of no group who is more in touch with the realities and complexities of life."

"If it had not been for my pleadings with my Heavenly Father and my faith, I don’t think I would be here now. I did not hear His voice, but I felt His presence, His guidance, and His love. I could not give up. Heavenly Father was there for me."

"It is so easy in this world to fill your heart and mind with content and never make time to listen. Listen after you pray. ...Allow your mind some clarity to contemplate the important aspects of your life and future. You must make conscious efforts to allow the process of revelation to act more frequently in your life."

With time, I have been able to move forward with great confidence into new and challenging situations because of this faith and knowledge."

"When we experience our own difficulties—large or small—an important thing for us to remember is that we are far more likely to work through the difficulties we face if our lives, hearts, and faith are centered on Jesus Christ. Life will be more peaceful for us if we accept our circumstances as they are and then we go to work to address those that we want to change."

"When you and I realize that we are literally children of God, children of the covenant, and disciples of Jesus Christ, our love for Heavenly Father and the Savior will grow almost beyond comprehension, we will find it easier to love ourselves and allow ourselves to flourish, and only then can we truly love others as we’ve been commanded to do."

"God, our Father, your Heavenly Parent, in all His love and wisdom has handcrafted a blanket of covenants, commandments, and promised blessings to warm us, keeping us comfortably safe in a sometimes uncomfortable, cold world! Are we using the gift the way it was intended? Or has it been put on the shelf, collecting dust? The wear and tear of keeping commandments are pleasing to God. He sees this as an acceptance of His gift! Using it helps us to come to know Him, love Him, and appreciate the supreme designer’s hands."

That we may live our lives as the evidence of things hoped for."
