Overcome the World and Find Rest – Russell M. Nelson
Take charge of your own testimony of Jesus Christ and His gospel. Work for it. Nurture it so that it will grow. Feed it truth. Don’t pollute it with false philosophies… As you make the continual strengthening of your testimony of Jesus Christ your highest priority, watch for miracles to happen in your life.
My plea to you this morning is to find rest from the intensity, uncertainty, and anguish of this world by overcoming the world through your covenants with God.
- Let Him know through your prayers and your actions that you are serious about overcoming the world.
- Ask Him to enlighten your mind and send the help you need.
- Each day, record the thoughts that come to you as you pray; then follow through diligently.
- Spend more time in the temple, and seek to understand how the temple teaches you to rise above this fallen world.
The most measurable things from this list are 1) to record thoughts as I pray and follow through; and 2) to spend more time in the temple.
- I bless you in your quest to overcome this world.
- I bless you to increase your faith in Jesus Christ and learn better how to draw upon His power.
- I bless you to be able to discern truth from error.
- I bless you to care more about the things of God than the things of this world.
- I bless you to see the needs of those around you and strengthen those you love.
That They Might Know Thee – Jonathan S. Schmitt
Concerning Jesus’s many names, President Nelson said, “Study everything Jesus Christ is by prayerfully and vigorously seeking to understand what each of His various titles and names means personally for you.”
This might be a good way for me focus to my prayers—focusing on a name of Christ each day. I will seek to devise a pattern for identifying a name to focus on, pondering that name, reporting in prayer on what I have learned, and recording my insights privately.
