7 Tips for When Revelation Doesn’t Come
Ashli Kristine Hansen
- When it comes to heavenly communication, does it ever feel like the Lord has everyone else on speed dial—and you’re just sitting there hoping for any little bit of communication, even a generic “new phone, who dis” text? We all have times when we feel like we just aren’t getting the revelation we seek. It’s easy to feel like everyone around us is getting the guidance they are looking for while we are left alone, in the dark, searching for a little heavenly ray of hope to light our path. So what do we do if we feel like we are...

Christy Kane PhD, CMHC
- The other day I was in a grocery store when I noticed a small child giving his mother a run for her money. As I watched the two of them, I could tell the mother was getting very tired; and in a moment of desperation, she directed a few unkind remarks toward her small son. As she did so, I wanted to say, “Please don’t. You may not mean what you just said, but your little boy will believe you! If he believes you, and such exchanges between you and him continue, I may find him in my office years later...

"Is There No Blessing for Me?": Jane Manning James's Pleas to Receive Her Endowment + Her Powerful Testimony of the Temple
Margaret Blair Young, adapted from "Women of Faith"

Debra Sansing Woods
- Many Latter-day Saint families have a parent or spouse who is less-active or not a member of the Church. But that doesn’t mean we can’t find ways to love and include them in our own ward and family activities. Find out how you can better support those part-member families you know.
