Act in All Diligence

"I close now with this counsel to the Lord’s priesthood servants. Ponder deeply and diligently in the scriptures and in the words of living prophets. Persist in prayer for the Holy Ghost to reveal to you the nature of God the Father and His Beloved Son. Plead that the Spirit will show you what the Lord wants you to do. Plan to do it. Promise Him to obey. Act with determination until you have done what He asked. And then pray to give thanks for the opportunity to serve and to know what you might do next."



Elder Henry B. Eyring
"Act in All Diligence"

"Remember Him"

 "Whenever we remember Him, it becomes easier to resist the temptation to want a rest from our priesthood labors. We must have remembered Him today, and so we are here to learn our duties, determined to do what we are covenanted to do, in all diligence. And because of His example we will endure to the end of the tasks He gives us in this life and be committed to do the will of His Father forever, as He was and is."

Elder Henry B. Eyring
"Act in All Diligence"

Doers of the Word

"As gospel learners, we should be “doers of the word, and not hearers only” (James 1:22). Our hearts are opened to the influence of the Holy Ghost as we properly exercise agency and act in accordance with correct principles..."

Elder David A. Bednar
"Watching with All Perseverance"

The Fruits of Obedience

"Obedience to the Lord’s commandments provides us confidence in our chosen path, qualifies us for His guidance and direction as we pursue our efforts, and offers us the potential to become like our Savior, Jesus Christ, and return to our Father’s presence."


Elder Bruce A. Carlson
"When the Lord Commands"

Obey, No Questions Asked.

"At times we may rationalize that the Lord will understand our disobedience because our special circumstances make adherence to His laws difficult, embarrassing, or even painful. However, faithful obedience, regardless of the apparent size of the task, will bring the Lord’s guidance, assistance, and peace."


Elder Bruce A. Carlson
"When the Lord Commands"

Safety in Obedience

"At the time of his appointment as President of the Church, Harold B. Lee said: 'The safety of the Church lies in the members keeping the commandments. … As they keep the commandments, blessings will come.'1"
