Hear Him (excerpts)
Our Father knows that when we are surrounded by uncertainty and fear, what will help us the very most is to hear His Son.
Because when we seek to hear—truly hear—His Son, we will be guided to know what to do in any circumstance.
… To hearken means to “hear Him”—to hear what the Savior says and then to heed His counsel. In those two words—“Hear Him”—God gives us the pattern for success, happiness, and joy in this life. We are to hear the words of the Lord, hearken to them, and heed what He has told us! …
… Where can we go to hear Him? We can go to the scriptures. …
We can also Hear Him in the temple. …
… I invite you to increase your participation in family history. …
We also hear Him more clearly as we refine our ability to recognize the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. …
And, finally, we hear Him as we heed the words of prophets, seers, and revelators. …
What will happen as you more intentionally hear, hearken, and heed what the Savior has said and what He is saying now through His prophets? I promise that you will be blessed with additional power to deal with temptation, struggles, and weakness. I promise miracles in your marriage, family relationships, and daily work. And I promise that your capacity to feel joy will increase even if turbulence increases in your life.
