Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
As you pray, search the scriptures, and act in faith, the Savior keeps His promise to draw near; when you seek Him diligently, asking and knocking with real intent, doors you didn’t know existed begin to open. In those openings, you find that He walks with you along the covenant path, meeting steady effort with tender answers.
Scripture
“Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”—Doctrine and Covenants 88:63
Quote
“God walks with us along the covenant path as we seek Him through prayerful pleadings, scriptural searchings, and obedient strivings.”—Brian K. Taylor

Living the Principle: Seek Him Diligently
- Morning “ask, seek, knock” prayer: before looking at your phone, pray about one question that’s been on your mind, one truth to seek in scripture today, and one door you want the Lord to open.
- Focused scripture search: set a 10-minute timer, read a passage about Jesus Christ, write one line about how He is drawing near, and schedule one concrete act that flows from the verse.
- Act on promptings within 24 hours: keep a running note titled “Knocks” and, when a nudge comes, do one small, observable action (send a text, make the call, extend an invite, repent, or set a temple appointment) before the day ends.
