    As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course, or to turn it up stream, as to hinder the Almighty from pouring down knowledge from heaven upon the {head of David Miller}. Doctrine & Covenants 121:33 This is apparently true today and lately. I practiced the…

    I was led to this talk from a footnote in Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives. Through prayer, we can show our love for God. And He has made it so easy. We may pray to Him any time. No special equipment is needed. We don’t even need to charge batteries or pay…

    The Lord is teaching me through His prophet. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weaknesses—yes, the very longings of your heart. And then listen! Write the thoughts that come to your mind. Record your feelings and follow through with actions that you are prompted to take. As you…

    I didn’t realize that Elder Holland had a medical emergency 48 hours after his wife, Patricia, was buried. I received an adminition to return to my ministry with more urgency and more consecration. I can’t imagine elder Holland having more consecration than before.

    I have been praying to get an offer for the job at the church that I have been interviewing for. I am hopeful that my interview today will result in a job offer relatively soon. In a related note, this morning is the first time that I have prayed specifically for Savannah to get a…

    Yesterday we went camping for the first time of the year. Laura, Savannah, and Alyssa joined us until dinner which made it more fun but when it was back to me and the 5 youngest the kids got crazy again and I just wanted to be done. As soon as we started going to bed…

    Laura mentioned this afternoon that she has started praying again in the last day or so. I think that having her start praying means that she is ready to try trusting again both trusting me and trusting God. I’m sure it will take time, trial, and some reversals in the process.

    I don’t often ask for miracles because my faith don’t require it and I prefer not to make demands on anyone, much less my Heavenly Father. That doesn’t mean I don’t that they can/will be given when requested. Today I was realizing just how thoroughly I would be locked out of so much important data…

    Helaman was confident that they would not suffer more for the fulfilling the oath that they people of Ammon had made. In order to make that happen he accepted the invitation to lead their sons in keeping another oath. How often does the Lord require something hard at our hands as a means of securing…
