“Regular worship in the house of the Lord increases our capacity for both virtue and charity. Thus, time in the temple increases our confidence before the Lord. Increased time in the temple will help us prepare for the Second Coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We do not know the day or the hour of His coming. But I do know that the Lord is prompting me to urge us to get ready for that “great and dreadful day.
As we diligently seek to have charity and virtue fill our lives, our confidence in approaching God will increase. I invite you to take intentional steps to grow in your confidence before the Lord. Then, as we go to our Heavenly Father with increasing confidence, we will be filled with more joy, and your faith in Jesus Christ will increase. We will begin to experience spiritual power that exceeds our greatest hopes.”
President Russell M Nelson, APRIL 2025

“How have you seen God’s power through temple ordinances and covenants in your life?”
“This mortal life can get challenging and the weight of it feels overwhelming. At times, I have felt like giving up or giving in. Each time I go to the Temple I gain a little better understanding of the covenants I’ve made. I’ve finally come to recognize the spiritual and emotional support that comes through His covenant promises. Even in tough times, I can feel joy and peace. I can feel the strength to go forward. I feel His love for me. This to me is God working miracles in my life through my temple ordinances and covenants.”
“As I continue to attend the temple, and as I try to do so more frequently, I am amazed at the greatness of God. I marvel at how He uses His power to bless me and all of His children. His power is always focused on bringing His children back home. I feel His power in the covenants that I make in the temple as I receive strength and confidence and assurance through Jesus Christ.”
