This Week's Lesson

Thank you, Carol, for your wonderful debut lesson today on The Power of Scripture. Elder Richard G. Scott shared great insights on what the scriptures can do for us. "Scriptures are like packets of light that illuminate our minds and give place to guidance and inspiration from on high. They can become the key to open the channel to communion with our Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ...Pondering a passage of scripture can be a key to unlock revelation and the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Scriptures can calm an agitated soul, giving peace, hope, and a restoration of confidence in one's ability to overcome the challenges of life. They have potent power to heal emotional challenges when there is faith in the Savior. They can accelerate physical healing."

I have a testimony that reading the scriptures will open the communication channels with Heavenly Father. I have often felt solutions to life's problems come with clarity when I have opened my scriptures and pondered how what I have read could apply to my life.
