Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
We don’t always like being told what to do, but we trust guidance more when we believe it comes from someone who sees more than we do. When we choose to follow that direction with faith instead of resistance, we move forward with more confidence and peace.
Scripture
“For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.”—Doctrine and Covenants 21:5
Quote
“A perfect and loving Father in Heaven has chosen the pattern of revealing truth to His children through a prophet. A prophet is someone God has personally prepared, called, corrected, inspired, rebuked, sanctified, and sustained. That is why we are never spiritually at risk in following prophetic counsel.”—Allen D. Haynie, “A Living Prophet for the Latter Days”

Living the Principle: A Living Prophet for the Latter Days
- Make a habit of reviewing recent guidance and choose one specific thing to act on that day, even if it feels small. Follow through without overthinking it, and pay attention to how it shapes your decisions.
- When you feel resistance or doubt, pause and ask what is holding you back from trusting the direction you’ve received. Then choose to act anyway, focusing on progress instead of perfect understanding.
- Build consistency by checking in at the end of the day and asking how you responded to guidance you recognized. Use that reflection to adjust your effort the next day rather than letting missed moments turn into discouragement.
