Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
When we step into that sacred space, we can feel the Lord’s power in the temple filling us with peace and divine strength. That gift enables us to overcome trials, bind our families together, and walk forward with greater faith.
Scripture
“That all people who shall enter upon the threshold of the Lord’s house may feel thy power, and feel constrained to acknowledge that thou hast sanctified it.”—Doctrine & Covenants 109:13
Quote
“You’ll find not only protection from the temptations and ills of this world, but you’ll also find personal power, power to change, power to repent, power to learn, power to be sanctified, and power to turn the hearts of your family together and heal that which needs healing.”—Dale G. Renlund, “Claim the Promises: Taking Family Names”

Living the Principle: Feel the Lord’s Power in the Temple
- If distance allows, set aside one day this month to attend the temple with a specific prayer in your heart, asking the Lord to help you recognize His power in your life.
- Keep a small journal where you write down one way you felt God’s strength or peace after temple worship, then review these entries when you face discouragement.
- Invite a family member or friend to prepare a family name for temple ordinances with you, turning the experience into a shared act of faith and healing.
