"I Will Order All Things for Your Good "
[T]he treasured blessings of the sacrament are available to us each time we attend sacrament meeting. We do not need to labor unsuccessfully…to find our treasure. Nor need we seek counsel from exotic sources, prizing the novelty of the source and thinking such counsel will be more enlightened than that which we can receive from a humble prophet of God...Treasure the opportunity to repent, the privilege of partaking of the sacrament, the blessing of making and keeping temple covenants, the delight of worshipping in the temple, and the joy of having a living prophet.

President Gordon B. Hinckley said: “If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God. … The Lord will not forsake us.”... Scripture says, “Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good.” This doesn’t mean all things are good, but for the meek and faithful, things—both positive and negative—work together for good, and the timing is the Lord’s...Truly yoked to the Savior, we can say with confidence, “It will all work out.”
- Neill F. Marriott, Yielding Our Hearts to God
Discerning and accepting the will of God in our lives are fundamental elements of asking in faith in meaningful prayer. However, simply saying the words “Thy will be done” is not enough. Each of us needs God’s help in surrendering our will to Him...Humble, earnest, and persistent prayer enables us to recognize and align ourselves with the will of our Heavenly Father...We can... engage in meaningful prayer as we...humbly acknowledge and accept “not my will, but thine, be done.”

Isn’t it wonderful that there are times when we can feel so fully and personally noticed and loved?...Is it any surprise that the greatest commandments are to love God and to love those around us? When I see people showing Christlike love for one another, it feels to me as if that love contains more than just their love; it is love that also has divinity in it. When we love one another in this way, as completely and fully as we can, heaven gets involved too. So if someone we care about seems distant from a sense of divine love, we can follow this pattern—by doing things that bring us closer to God ourselves and then doing things that bring us closer to them.

Much like the five wise virgins who had their lamps full with oil when the bridegroom came, we can be whole in Jesus Christ as we fill our lamps with the nourishing oil of conversion to Him...all ten of the virgins were in the right location, awaiting the bridegroom. Every one of them came with a lamp. But when He came, at the unexpected midnight hour, the five foolish did not have sufficient oil for their lamps...in response to their petition to be permitted to enter the wedding supper, the bridegroom responded, “Ye know me not.”…Wholeness is born of faith in and conversion to Jesus Christ and in letting the light of that conversion shine.

Your testimony will be strengthened when you know in your heart through your prayers that the Prophet Joseph Smith was an instrument in the Lord’s hands...Joseph’s translation of the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God was foundational to the Restoration. The Book of Mormon is internally consistent, beautifully written, and contains the answers to life’s great questions. It is another testament of Jesus Christ. I testify that Joseph Smith was righteous, full of faith, and an instrument in the Lord’s hands in bringing forth the Book of Mormon.
