God loves you so much, which is why he’s provided LOTS of ways for you to be spiritually strong and connected with Him! Meg Johnson shares personal experiences and scriptures that illustrate the power of positivity, how to seek divine help in your life, and the strength you can gain by working on your testimony a little bit every day.
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?
What does it mean to be true to the faith? Living true to God's commandments takes commitment, courage, and trust in His promises for you. The Lord blesses those who follow Him, and when we choose to keep His commandments, our lives become filled with peace, joy, and purpose. So today, ask yourself: Am I standing for truth? Am I living my faith? If you do, the blessings will follow.
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.
Imagine facing an army of 200,000 warriors armed with stones, while you’re protected by iron armor. That’s exactly what happened in 1536, when Spanish soldiers in Cusco survived because they were properly equipped. Quinn Calder shares how this story mirrors our spiritual battles—when we wear the whole armor of God, we are protected from the attacks of the adversary. But those who fail to wear their spiritual helmet? They can be taken down in an instant. Don’t leave yourself exposed—put on your armor, every day.
Have you ever heard someone say, “Show me where Jesus said that in the scriptures”? Carmen Herbert reminds us of a crucial truth—Jesus Christ still speaks today through living prophets. Just because something isn’t explicitly written in the Bible doesn’t mean it isn’t inspired. President Nelson’s counsel on modesty, media, and moral choices isn’t just about rules—it’s about receiving divine blessings.

Whether it's a big thing or a small thing, if that "thing" is important to us, it is important to our Heavenly Father. Quadriplegic Meg Johnson helps us recognize all of the ways God enables us on a day-to-day basis. Though He may not always give us exactly what we ask for, we can be assured that He is always listening and He will always give us the means to accomplish what He knows is best for us.
