This I Know: Peace for the Asking

I can feel peace in hard situations.

Daily Ponderings: We Shall Be Like Him

Moroni 7:48

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.

I can try to be like Him. He will help me if I ask.

Daily Ponderings: Power to Do

Moroni 7:33

And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.

I need power to make progress. He can help me if I ask

This I Know: Enough

Having a long to-do list doesn't mean I haven't made progress. Both those things are true.

Daily Ponderings: Know With a Perfect Knowledge

Moroni 7:17

But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.

If I'm not sure, I can pray and ask.

This I Know: Progress

Even though I gave up something I wanted to do, I still get credit for progress on the things I did instead.

Daily Ponderings: If He Follow Christ, He Cannot Be a Servant of the Devil

Moroni 7:11

For behold, a bitter fountain cannot bring forth good water; neither can a good fountain bring forth bitter water; wherefore, a man being a servant of the devil cannot follow Christ; and if he follow Christ he cannot be a servant of the devil.

I can only walk one direction at a time.

This I Know: Self-Care

I can take the time to do the things for myself that I need. I can also ask for help.

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.
