The Restoration

This week we begin of study of the Doctrine and Covenants. We’ll talk about some of the principles taught in the Restoration Proclamation that can help with our mental and emotional well-being. We’ll discuss how the very fact that a Savior was provided and that the gospel was restored in the latter days is a testimony of God’s love and concern for us. As we better understand His love, we can more effectively manage feelings of anxiety and depression. We’ll also talk about how being ready to apply the changes and adjustments that come with the “ongoing restoration” can help us become more flexible and better able to make personal change as well.
