Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
When we choose to go wherever the Lord sends us, we move with faith instead of fear, trusting that His presence goes before us to prepare the way. True discipleship means setting aside our own plans to serve others with willing hearts, knowing that in losing ourselves in His work, we ultimately find Him.
Scripture
“Wherefore, whithersoever they shall send you, go ye, and I will be with you.”—Doctrine & Covenants 112:19
Quote
“The first thing you must commit to do is to go and serve, knowing that you do not go alone. When you go to comfort and serve anyone for the Savior, He prepares the way before you.”—Henry B. Eyring, “Trust in That Spirit Which Leadeth to Do Good”

Living the Principle: I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go
- Identify one area of your life where you’ve resisted the Lord’s direction and prayerfully ask what step of faith He wants you to take next, committing to act even before you know the outcome.
- When prompted to serve someone, move quickly without overthinking or waiting for convenience—let the willingness to go be your offering to the Lord.
- Record the moments when you’ve felt the Savior’s presence while serving others, and return to those memories whenever fear or hesitation tempts you to hold back from following where He leads.

Matthew 14, the loaves and fishes. I have my own version of this story. I was the manager at a store, we had run out of bags. It was a struggle to tell customers this. It went on a few days. Before work one day I inquired of the Lord. I told Him I had faith He would bless the situation. When I arrived at work I looked for the bags. Miraculously I found a box on the shelf. This tied us over until we got more delivered. Faith is real.
