“May we ever strive to be close to our Heavenly Father,” said President Thomas S. Monson during the Sunday morning session of the 183rd Semiannual General Conference of the Church. “To do so, we must pray to Him and listen to Him every day. We truly need Him every hour, whether they be hours of sunshine or of rain. May His promise ever be our watchword: ‘I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.’”
