Pray Without Ceasing

I am so grateful for the power of prayer which enables us to call on the powers of heaven and reminds of the great love our Heavenly Father has for us.

Pray without ceasing...
Give thanks in all things.
Mosiah 26:39

With His Stripes We Are Healed

In my personal study this morning, I reviewed the prophecies of Isaiah, recorded in Mosiah 14, regarding the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  This time of year as I ponder His birth and the years of service and sacrifice that would follow, I am grateful for his eternal love for me as evidenced by price he willingly paid.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.
Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows.
He was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquities.
With his stripes we are healed.
The Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all.
He bore the sins of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Turn to the Lord

This week we're going to ponder the great promise that the Lord will deliver us if we will turn to, trust, and serve him.

But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.  (Mosiah 7:33)

Believe in God

This week we're going to ponder Mosiah 4:9:

Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend.
