“The Things of My Soul” by Ronald A. Rasband

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 13

TALK: “The Things of My Soul" by Elder Ronald A. Rasband

JESUS CHRIST:

 “When we are heavy laden with mistakes, heartaches, feelings of inadequacy, disappointment, anger, or sin, the power of the Savior’s Atonement is, by divine design, one of the things that lifts the soul.”

-Ronald A. Rasband

SCRIPTURE:

“And upon these I write the things of my soul.

Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord; and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.”

-2 Nephi 4:15-16

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“Take your questions to the Lord and to other faithful sources. Study with the desire to believe rather than with the hope that you can find a flaw in the fabric of a prophet’s life or a discrepancy in the scriptures. Stop increasing your doubts by rehearsing them with … doubters. Allow the Lord to lead you on your journey of spiritual discovery.”

-Russell M. Nelson

INVITATION TO ACT:

“I close with an invitation for each of you to consider the seven ‘things of my soul’ I have shared today: love God the Father and Jesus Christ, our Savior; love your neighbor; love yourself; keep the commandments; always be worthy of a temple recommend; be joyful and cheerful; and follow God’s living prophet. I invite you to identify your own eight, nine, and ten. Consider ways you might share your heartfelt ‘things’ with others and encourage them to pray, ponder, and seek the Lord’s guidance.”

– Ronald A. Rasband

PROMISED BLESSING:

“The things of my soul are as precious to me as yours are to you. These things strengthen our service in the Church and in all areas of life. They commit us to Jesus Christ, they remind us of our covenants, and they help us feel secure in the arms of the Lord.”

-Ronald A. Rasband

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • How do I know President Russell M. Nelson is our prophet today?

LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:

STEM LEARNERS: Write down my list of the ten things of my soul.

MY THOUGHTS:

While listening to and studying this talk, I was reminded over and over again what a great blessing it is to have a living prophet today. Our prophet cannot and will not lead us astray. What a blessing it is to have a living prophet who speaks for the Lord. What a blessing it is that our prophet speaks to us often–on social media, in General Conference, in church magazines, and in devotionals. I have been blessed as I listen to and follow the counsel of President Russell M. Nelson as he speaks for the Lord.
