Today's Favorite Verse: Proverbs 3:25-26

"Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken."

I think one of the most amazing promises of living in these end times, is the promise of peace instead of fear as we witness the calamity and decay of our world. The last general conference gave me such peace, but I could not tell you which words or talks it was. I think it was simply because it taught me to rely on and have faith in the Lord.

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

(2 Timothy 1:7)

"If our spiritual foundation is built solidly on Jesus Christ, we will not fall and we need not fear"

(Kevin W. Pearson, "Are You Still Willing?", Oct 2022 General Conference)

"But even with the increasing worldly influences around us, we need not fear. The Lord will never desert His covenant people. There is a compensatory power of spiritual gifts and divine direction for the righteous.

This added blessing of spiritual power, however, does not settle upon us just because we are part of this generation. It comes as we strengthen our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, as we come to know Him and love Him. “This is life eternal,” Jesus prayed, “that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent "

(Neil L. Andersen, "Drawing Closer to the Savior", Oct 2022 General Conference)

"Because the Savior, through His infinite Atonement, redeemed each of us from weakness, mistakes, and sin, and because He experienced every pain, worry, and burden you have ever had, then as you truly repent and seek His help, you can rise above this present precarious world. You can overcome the spiritually and emotionally exhausting plagues of the world, including arrogance, pride, anger, immorality, hatred, greed, jealousy, and fear. Despite the distractions and distortions that swirl around us, you can find true rest—meaning relief and peace—even amid your most vexing problems."

(Russell M. Nelson, "Overcome the World and Find Rest", Oct 2022 General Conference)
