Daily Ponderings: Be No Iniquity Among Them

Moroni 6:7
And they were strict to observe that there should be no iniquity among them; and whoso was found to commit iniquity, and three witnesses of the church did condemn them before the elders, and if they repented not, and confessed not, their names were blotted out, and they were not numbered among the people of Christ.

I should be kind to those in pain.

This I Know: Grateful

I can be grateful every day for the good things in my life.

Daily Ponderings: Cleansed by the Power of the Holy Ghost

Moroni 6:4
And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.

I should remember that I always have access to the power to change if I ask for it.

This I Know: Forward

Even when I feel uncomfortable, I can move forward.

Daily Ponderings: Do Always Remember Him

Moroni 5:2
O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee, in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine to the souls of all those who drink of it, that they may do it in remembrance of the blood of thy Son, which was shed for them; that they may witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they do always remember him, that they may have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

Every twinge of anger is a sign I need to turn to Him.

This I Know: Peace

I don't have to do anything to earn peace. There are no prerequisites. I just have to let it in.

Daily Ponderings: Took the Cup

Moroni 5:1
The manner of administering the wine—Behold, they took the cup, and said:

I should accept whatever thing He offers me and reframe it, if necessary, until I can count it as good.

This I Know: Supporting

I should support my family. Everything else is optional.

Daily Ponderings: Always Remember Him

Moroni 4:3
O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it; that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him, and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

Any time I'm not deliberately ignoring Him counts as remembering Him. He wants to give me credit for what I do. The adversary wants me to focus on shortcomings. God wants me to have peace and happiness, and joy. The adversary just wants me to feel misery, because misery is the beginning of separation. It means I have to turn somewhere to fill my lack, and it will be either to Him or to the world.

This I Know: Connecting

It's always good to connect with family.

Daily Ponderings: Pray to the Father

Moroni 4:2
And they did kneel down with the church, and pray to the Father in the name of Christ, saying:

I should ask Him for what I want.

This I Know: Orderly

There's enough time to keep my life orderly.
