The Atonement can HELP YOU!

If the adversary should take you prisoner due to misconduct, I remind you that you hold the key that will unlock the prison door from the inside. You can be washed clean through the atoning sacrifice of the Savior Jesus Christ.
You may in time of trouble think that you are not worth saving because you have made mistakes, big or little, and you think you are now lost. That is never true! Only repentance can heal what hurts. But repentance can heal what hurts, no matter what it is.
If you are slipping into things that you should not slip into or if you are associating with people who are pulling you away in the wrong direction, that is the time to assert your independence, your agency. Listen to the voice of the Spirit, and you will not be led astray.
I say again that youth today are being raised in enemy territory with a declining standard of morality. But as a servant of the Lord, I promise that you will be protected and shielded from the attacks of the adversary if you will heed the promptings that come from the Holy Spirit.

May I have Thy Spirit?

O Lord, pour out thy spirit upon thy servant, that (s)he may do this work with holiness of heart.
Mosiah 18:12

Whispers from the Spirit

Answers from God come quietly--ever so quietly. In fact, few hear His answers audibly with their ears. We must be listening so carefully or we'll never recognize them. Most answers from the Lord are felt in our hearts as a warm comfortable expression, or they may come to those who are prepared and who are patient.
