Fear is not new.
We all have diverse fears.
Since ancient times, fear has limited the perspective of God’s children.
The Lord is mindful of us.
Jesus Christ lives.
Stand in holy places, be not troubled, and promises shall be fulfilled.
God loves us, always.
Our love of God counters all fears.
When we stand in holy places, we can feel God’s love, and “…perfect love casteth out all fear.”
If we are engaged in the world, we will not fear worldly trends.
Love what the Lord loves.
We should not be troubled by the turmoil of today.
We must place priority on living the gospel and encouraging faithfulness and spirituality in others as well as ourselves.
As we stay on the covenant path we need not fear.
David A. Bednar – Quorum of Twelve Apostles
The gospel of Jesus Christ provides the greatest perspective of truth, and offers the greatest blessings.
We live in a remarkable, and revelatory season of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Faith in the Father’s plan and the Savior’s mission should be increased.
Love more completely and serve more effectively our brothers and sisters.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is a magnificent tapestry of truth.
True faith ish focused in an on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Strive to gather together all things in one, in Christ.
In our Savior we find joy. We find the assurance of peace in this world, and in the life to come.
