Prophets are inspired to provide us with prophetic priorities to protect us from dangers...Obeying the Word of Wisdom gave our members, especially our youth, a preventive inoculation against drug use and the resulting health problems and moral hazards. Unfortunately, there appears to be a resurgence of drug use in our own day. Living the Word of Wisdom today will free you from some of the most serious dangers you can face in this life.

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we possess sacred knowledge from revealed truth about the relationship between the body and the spirit... To bless us both physically and spiritually, the Lord also revealed to us a law of health, telling us which foods and substances are good for the body and which are not...We do not want to harm our mortal bodies, for they are a gift from God, and part of our Heavenly Father’s great plan of happiness is the reuniting of our immortal bodies with our spirits.

The First Presidency holds the “keys of the kingdom.”
[T]he Lord said to the Prophet Joseph Smith, “Lift up your hearts and rejoice, for unto you the kingdom, or in other words, the keys of the church have been given.” In the authority of these keys, the Church’s priesthood officers preserve the purity of the Savior’s doctrine and the integrity of His saving ordinances. They help prepare those who wish to receive them, judge the qualification and worthiness of those who apply, and then perform them. With the keys of the kingdom, the Lord’s servants can identify both truth and falsehood and once again authoritatively state...

God gives me prophets to guide and protect me
“All things shall work together for [my] good.”
The First Presidency holds the “keys of the kingdom.”
A prophet is a watchman on the tower, protecting us from spiritual dangers we may not see… Why are we so willing to follow the voice of our prophet? For those diligently seeking eternal life, the prophet’s voice brings spiritual safety in very turbulent times.
…The prophet’s voice, while spoken kindly, will often be a voice asking us to change, to repent, and to return to the Lord...As you are humble in following the counsel of the Lord’s prophet, I promise you an added blessing of safety and peace.
- Neil L. Andersen, The Prophet of God
“All things shall work together for [my] good.”
“All things shall work together for [my] good.”
“All things shall work together for [my] good.”
[I]n this world of tribulation, “we know that all things work together for good to them that love God.” Indeed, as we walk uprightly and remember our covenants, “all things shall work together for your good.” All things for our good. A remarkable promise! Comforting assurance from God Himself!…We increase faith and trust in the Lord that all things can work together for our good as we gain eternal perspective; understand our trials may be “but for a small moment”; recognize affliction can be consecrated for our gain...
- Gerrit W. Gong, All Things for Our Good
The Spirit can help me know what is true
“All things shall work together for [my] good.”
“All things shall work together for [my] good.”
We first learned the gospel in our heavenly home. We have come to this earth with a veil of forgetfulness. And yet lingering in each of our spirits are those dormant memories. The Holy Ghost can part the veil and bring those things out of their dormancy. Often my reaction to a supposedly newfound truth is, “Oh, I remember that!”…I testify that the Lord wants you to know it is true, and He “will [reveal] the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost”…
