Living the Principle: Keep the Commandments
- Begin each day with a short prayer asking for strength to keep the commandments in both small and large decisions you will face.
- Choose one specific commandment you feel prompted to improve on—such as Sabbath observance, honesty in speech, or kindness in thought—and make a written plan for how you will live it more fully this week.
- At the end of the day, record in a journal one way keeping the commandments brought greater light or clarity into your life, no matter how simple it may seem.
