Inspirational Thought

Confidence In the Presence of God
by Pres. Russell M. NelsonChallenges in life can knock an individual’s self-confidence. However, disciples of Jesus Christ have access to a different kind of confidence. When making and keeping covenants with God, individuals can have confidence that is born of the Spirit.Having confidence before God means having confidence in approaching God right now. It means praying with confidence that Heavenly Father is listening. It means having confidence that He loves His children, understands their needs and yearns to help them reach their highest potential.
The Lord said charity and virtue open the way to having confidence before God.Followers of Jesus Christ should lead the way as peacemakers. As the world grows more wicked, we need to grow increasingly pure. Our thoughts, words and actions need to be unfailingly virtuous and filled with the pure love of Jesus Christ towards all men.Regular worship in the house of the Lord increases one’s capacity for charity and virtue, thus increasing their confidence before the Lord. As we diligently seek to have charity and virtue fill our lives, our confidence in approaching God will increase. I invite you to take intentional steps to grow in your confidence before the Lord.
