“Would you ever decide to do all your exercising just one day out of every week? Would you choose to consume your weekly calorie intake in one sitting? Would you take all your vitamins and medications for the week on one day and restrict your conversations and socializing to that day? Would you determine to do all your laughing, crying, and meditating on one out of every seven days? Would you sleep for 24 to 48 hours consecutively to stay awake for the remainder of the week? Of course not! Certainly our physical, emotional, and mental health require daily efforts. We do not expect healthiness to come from attending to our needs just one day a week. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, relationships, emotional expression, self-monitoring—these require daily attention. So why would you think to keep spiritually healthy by doing all your praying and scripture study only one day out of seven?” PrayerRichelle GoodrichRichelle E GoodrichSelf CareDaily PrayerScripture StudySpiritual NeedsSpiritually Healthy Book:Hope Evermore: Quotes, Verse, & Spiritual Inspiration for Every Day of the Year Source: Hope Evermore: Quotes, Verse, & Spiritual Inspiration for Every Day of the Year

“Parents must bring light and truth into their homes by one family prayer, one scripture study session, one family home evening, one book read aloud, one song, and one family meal at a time.

“Each family prayer, each episode of family scripture study, and each family home evening is a brushstroke on the canvas of our souls. No one event may appear to be very impressive or memorable.

“I fear that many of us rush about from day to day taking for granted the Holy Scriptures. We scramble to honor appointments with physicians, lawyers, and businessmen. Yet we think nothing of postponing interviews with Deity postponing scripture study. Little wonder we develop anemic souls and lose our direction in living. How much better it would be if we planned and held sacred fifteen or twenty minutes a day for reading the scriptures. Such interviews with Deity would help us recognize his voice and enable us to receive guidance in all of our affairs.” IfsThinkingLittlesSoulHelpingWould BeReadingVoiceLosesWonderStudyMinutesBalanceHonorHolyTwentiesSacredAffairLawyerScriptureGrantedGuidanceInterviewsFifteenPhysiciansDay To DayBusinessmanDeitiesAppointmentsHoly ScripturesPostponingReading The ScripturesScripture Study Author:Carlos E.

“The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try. We must try to believe. Try to learn of God: read the scriptures; study the words of His latter-day prophets; choose to listen to the Father, and do the things He asks of us.
