Striving to become closer to Christ requires intentional effort through prayer, scripture study, and service to others. As we deepen our relationship with Him, we invite His peace and guidance into our lives.
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 is perfect and omnipotent, and you and I are mortal. But he is our Father, he loves us, and he offers the same opportunity to draw closer to him as would a loving friend. And you will do it in much the same way: speaking, listening, and doing.”—Henry B. Eyring
