What Did the Prophet Ask Us To Do? October, 2023

What Did the Prophet Ask Us to Do?  

October, 2023

Think Celestial!

I invite you to adopt the practice of “thinking celestial.”

I encourage you to begin with the end in mind.

When you make choices, I invite you to take the long view- an eternal view.  Put Jesus Christ first, because your eternal life is dependent upon your faith in Him and His atonement.

When you are confronted with a dilemma, think celestial!

When tested by temptation, think celestial!

When life or loved ones let you down, think celestial!

When someone dies prematurely, think celestial!

When someone lingers with a devastating illness, think celestial!

When the pressures of life crowd in upon you, think celestial!

As you recover from an accident or injury, as I am doing now, think celestial!

As you think celestial, your heart will gradually change.  You will want to pray more often and more sincerely.  Please don’t let your prayers sound like a shopping list.

Our prayers can be- and should be- living discussions with our Heavenly Father.

If you struggle with an addiction, seek the spiritual and professional help you need.  Please do not let an obsession rob you of your freedom to follow God’s plan.

When you make decisions regarding morality, please think celestial.  And if you have been unchaste, I plead with you to repent.  Come unto Christ and receive His promise of complete forgiveness as you fully repent of your sins.

When someone you love attacks truth, think celestial, and don’t question your testimony.

There is no end to the adversary’s deceptions.  Please be prepared.  Never take counsel from those who do not believe.  Seek guidance from voices you can trust- from prophets, seers, and revelators and from the whisperings of the Holy ghost, who “will show unto you all things what ye should do.”  Please do the spiritual work to increase your capacity to receive personal revelation.
