As embarrassed as I am to admit it, I still struggle with good, consistent prayer. I love her simple reminder to just make it a daily habit. I have conversations with God in my heart constantly, but I need to do more drop-to-my-knees soulful communication. I get this reminder over and over again and I know I need it.

I don’t have much more to add to what she said than “amen.” Great reminders about doing our duty to our families and fellow men.

Today hasn’t been the best of days – I’ve felt out of control of my kids, of my emotions when they’ve misbehaved… I haven’t been fixed on my purpose! My purpose as a mother is to help my kids feel safe in this world and to teach them the Gospel and that Heavenly Father loves them. The days that I forget my purpose are the hard days.

It is becoming increasingly harder to be fixed on our true purposes in this world. Satan knows what those purposes are, and he tries really hard to distract us. He makes us so busy with other things that we forget what we’re doing, sometimes!

Thanks for choosing this talk. I needed to hear it today!
