Daily Ponderings: Behold It Is Done

Helaman 12:17

Behold, if he say unto this mountain—Be thou raised up, and come over and fall upon that city, that it be buried up—behold it is done.

Once I decide what I want, I can do things.

This I Know: What She Needs

I can give her the attention she needs.

Daily Ponderings: At His Voice

Yea, behold at his voice do the hills and the mountains tremble and quake.

I should listen to the voice I know is right.

Words of prayer can heal.

Daily Ponderings: Bless and Prosper

Helaman 12:1

And thus we can behold how false, and also the unsteadiness of the hearts of the children of men; yea, we can see that the Lord in his great infinite goodness doth bless and prosper those who put their trust in him.

I should notice the ways that I am blessed and prospered.

This I Know: Resleep

Resleep is possible

Daily Ponderings: Thus Ended

Endings are always followed by new beginnings. If an ending is unsatisfactory, I can begin again.

This I Know: Exercise

It does my body good.

Daily Ponderings: Hiding Themselves

And they did commit murder and plunder; and then they would retreat back into the mountains, and into the wilderness and secret places, hiding themselves that they could not be discovered, receiving daily an addition to their numbers, inasmuch as there were dissenters that went forth unto them.

I needn't fear nor hide

This I Know: Work

Soonest begun, soonest done. It's hard, then it's over.

Helaman 11:13

O Lord, wilt thou hearken unto me, and cause that it may be done according to my words, and send forth rain upon the face of the earth, that she may bring forth her fruit, and her grain in the season of grain.

I should carefully control my words, because that is the beginning of how things become manifested in my life.

This I Know: Willingness

I may not be required to do all that I am willing to do, but I am more prepared than if I entered fearful.

Daily Ponderings: Reign of the Judges

Helaman 10:19

And thus ended the seventy and first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi.

No Good Excuse

From Massimo De Feo's April 2024 "Rise! He Calleth Thee":

"There is never a good exuse to say, 'I am the way I am because of some unfortunate and unpleasant circumstances. And I cannot change, and I am justified."

Physiology can cure this. "I can be any way I want, I can change, I am free"

Throw Away the Beggar's Coat

From Massimo De Feo's April 2024 "Rise! He Calleth Thee":

"...Throw away his beggar's coat."

My beggar's coat is my belief that I don't deserve nice things. If I cast this fear away, nice things will come.

Stillness in All Places

From David A. Bednar's April 2024 "Be Still and Know That I Am God":

"Our ongoing Sabbath, temple, and home experiences should fortify us with the power of the Holy Ghost"

In the car, too.

All Will Be Well

From Henry B. Eyring's April 2024 "All Will Be Well Because of Temple Covenants:

"...whatever the outcome, all will be well..."

I can accept things I cannot change.

Peace I Give

From Henry B. Eyring's April 2024 "All Will Be Well Because of Temple Covenants:

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you... Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid [John 14:27]"

Peace is always accessible, regardless of circumstances.

This I Know: Reading

Conference talks are good things to read.

Daily Ponderings: Hearken Unto the Words of the Lord

Helaman 10:13

Now behold, notwithstanding that great miracle which Nephi had done in telling them concerning the death of the chief judge, they did harden their hearts and did not hearken unto the words of the Lord.

When I hear something true, I should embrace it.
