Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
What does it mean to try faith? It begins when we choose to act on the word of God even before certainty settles in our hearts. As we continue to nourish that belief day after day, faith grows stronger and the joy of Jesus Christ lightens our burdens.
Scripture
“And now, my brethren, I desire that ye shall plant this word in your hearts, and as it beginneth to swell even so nourish it by your faith. And behold, it will become a tree, springing up in you unto everlasting life. And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light, through the joy of his Son. And even all this can ye do if ye will. Amen.”—Alma 33:23
Quote
“Day after day, on your path toward your eternal destiny, increase your faith. Proclaim your faith! Let your faith show!”—Russell M. Nelson, “Let Your Faith Show”

Living the Principle: Try Faith!
- Choose one promise or teaching from the word of God and act on it in a visible way, even if confidence still feels small. Let the action come first—offer the prayer, extend the forgiveness, or serve someone who needs help.
- Plant the word in your heart by keeping it close in a physical way. Write a scripture on a card, place it where you will see it, and pause when you notice it to remember the promise you want to grow.
- Let faith show through a simple act that others can see. Speak openly about what you believe, bear a quiet testimony when the moment comes, or respond to a challenge with trust instead of discouragement.
