Sunday21 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Read D&C 124:16–19, 87–90, 97–110. The men in these verses received great instructions and promises. However, they fell into apostasy and forfeited many of their blessings. What has helped you most in your efforts to endure to the end in righteousness?

It is a challenge to meet my sisters every month but making this a priority helps me make my faith a priority. Reading the Book of Mormon daily. Attending the temple! Love the peace of the temple!

Anddenex Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 The witness I have received from the Spirit, and the personal miracles in my life, is the reason I believe I will endure to the end. Midwest LDS and Sunday21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest LDS Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Daily conversations with my Heavenly Father.

Midwest LDS Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 @Grunt Yeah having a set time I usually pray does help me remember to pray a little easier (although I also pray frequently throughout the day when it occurs to me too.)

An Investigator Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Praying alot and I also started a blessings diary a while back. My Patriarchal blessing was also amazing and answered a lot of questions that had been praying on my mind and put them to bed so I read that often.

An Investigator Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Not sure what you mean.. The week leading up to my Patriarchal blessing was horrific, it was so bad I nearly didn't go I was absolutely crippled with anxiety and depression and it was just amazing.. I think to most people my blessing probably isn't anything special... I doesn't say I am going to do great things, It just reminds me that I am loved and tells me in the end, as long as I am faithful everything will work out A blessings diary is every night I try and write two things that have happened to me which have been a blessing, like finding some money to buy a coke at work or my son picking me a flower out of the garden, small stuff that we can over look Edited August 20, 2017 by An Investigator Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I don't know what a Patriarchal blessing is. I can ask the missionaries. Fether 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Investigator Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) OH... sorry! A Patriarchal Blessing is a really special blessing you get from a guy called to do these blessings, we believe if we follow the instruction it gives us from Heavenly Father we will be happy and have greater direction in life. Most people in the Church get it as teenagers but I am a convert to the Church so I had mine in my 30s. Normally people don't share what is in them (except the odd remark) with anyone but their family. I am the only member of my family in the Church so I shared my experience with my best friend as she is the only member in her family also. ttps://www.lds.org/topics/patriarchal-blessings?lang=eng Edited August 20, 2017 by An Investigator seashmore, Grunt and Sunday21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 ...but of course I can't get where I want to go if I never look up. And so it's also very helpful to sing. Elder Boyd K. Packer gave some excellent advice in this regard. And I'm not limited to only one genre. Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
