Right now, someone in your life feels alone. Maybe it’s a friend struggling with their faith. Maybe it’s someone who doesn’t feel included. Maybe it’s you. Luke 15 teaches us that Christ always goes after the one—and so can we. Carmen Herbert challenges you to look for the one and take action. Who needs you today? A simple invite, a kind message, or just showing up could make all the difference.
Being your best self isn’t about being better than someone else—it’s about choosing joy, focusing on the positive, and blocking out negativity. Becca Jackson reminds us that Satan wants to hold you back with self-doubt and discouragement, but God wants you to see your worth. So today, instead of focusing on what you lack, find what you love about yourself. Look for the good. See the sunshine. Your best self is waiting—it’s up to you to choose it.
Self-doubt is one of Satan’s biggest lies. But here’s the truth—Heavenly Father sent you here to succeed. Carmen Herbert reminds us that you already have what it takes. When you feel stuck, unsure, or afraid to move forward, look to God. He knows your potential. He knows your strength. If you trust Him and take action, you’ll accomplish more than you ever imagined. So today, take that step—He’s got you.
It’s easy to hope and wish for things, but real progress comes from action. Ryker Simmons reminds us that Doctrine and Covenants 131:3 teaches a simple truth: “If he does not, he cannot obtain it.” Whether it’s spiritual growth, personal goals, or any blessing we seek, effort is required. Heavenly Father is ready to bless us—but first, we need to show up and do the work. What step can you take today?
Did you know the Word of Wisdom isn’t just about avoiding certain things—it’s about receiving incredible blessings? Carmen Herbert shares a powerful scripture: “All saints who remember to keep and do these sayings… shall receive health, wisdom, and even hidden treasures.” (D&C 89) That’s a promise straight from God! When we treat our bodies with reverence, nourish them with good food, get rest, and care for our spirits, we unlock blessings beyond what we can see. What’s one simple change you can make today to align with this divine law?
Have you ever felt like you weren’t worthy enough to ask for God’s help? Elder Christofferson reminds us that we don’t need to reach some minimum level of goodness before divine aid is available. If you’re seeking God, He’s already helping you. Mark shares a powerful truth—God is aware of you, He wants you to be happy, and He will always be there. So keep reaching for Him. No matter where you are today, His love and guidance are still yours.
