I left several names on the temple prayer roll this afternoon. Exercising our faith on behalf of those who need extra prayers is a privilege of temple worship. First day of Spring, also a good day for renewed faith in prayer. 🙏🏼

One thing I am learning deeply in my walk with God this year is this: as a child of God, you must become addicted to prayer. Not casual… not occasional… not when it is convenient. Addicted. There is a realm where prayer is no longer a struggle, it becomes your natural response. A place where you don’t need motivation, reminders, or external pressure to pray—you just find yourself drawn to it. Just like a man who is addicted to something cannot go without it, your spirit begins to crave communion with God. You pray when you are happy. You pray when you are tired. You pray when things are working. You pray when nothing is working. Prayer becomes your lifestyle, not your last option. Many of us are still in the stage where we need something to push us to pray—problems, fear, needs, or emergencies. But there is a higher dimension where prayer is no longer need-based, it is love-driven. You don’t come to God just because you want something, you come because you cannot do without Him. This is where God wants us to be. A place where your spirit wakes you up before your alarm just to pray. A place where silence becomes uncomfortable because you miss His voice. A place where prayer is not a burden, but a delight. You must train yourself until prayer becomes your default setting. It will not happen in one day. You will have days where you feel weak, distracted, or dry. But stay consistent. Push yourself. Discipline your flesh. Build the altar daily. There is a transformation that happens when you refuse to give up. Because the truth is, the strength of your life is hidden in your prayer life. If you are weak in prayer, you will be weak in life. If you are strong in prayer, you will stand strong in every season. This year, make a decision: “I will not wait to feel like praying. I will become a man/woman of prayer.” Pray until it becomes your identity. Pray until it becomes your hunger. Pray until it becomes your addiction.

Such a beautiful temple inside and out!

God’s love is always there. ❤️

Benjamin Netanyahu: "I don’t think any two leaders have been as coordinated as Trump and me. Trump is the leader, and I am his ally. America is the leader, Israel is the ally."

"There are no words to describe the magnitude of Jesus Christ’s precious gift. It will never be required of another.

🚨Why I Am A Christian Zionist 🔥🚨 I'm a Christian. And unapologetically, I'm a Zionist. Not because of politics or headlines—but because the Bible I read cover-to-cover demands it. God made an **everlasting covenant** with Abraham: "To your offspring I will give this land... forever." (Genesis 12:7, 13:15, 17:8) He didn't say "temporarily." He didn't say "until the Church shows up." He said **FOREVER**. Then He doubles down: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse." (Genesis 12:3) That's not optional. That's a divine command for how we treat the Jewish people today. Fast-forward: After 2,000 years of exile, persecution, and the Holocaust... the Jewish people returned home. Israel reborn in 1948. Coincidence? No. Prophecy fulfilled. "I will bring them back to this land... never again to be uprooted." (Amos 9:15) "The dry bones shall live!" (Ezekiel 37) We're watching the Bible come alive in real time. Paul warns us in Romans 11: Don't be arrogant toward the natural branches (the Jews). God hasn't rejected His people. He's grafting them back in—and we're called to stand with them. Supporting Israel isn't about blind loyalty to a government. It's about faithfulness to God's unbreakable promises. In a world quick to curse and boycott the only Jewish state... I choose to **bless**. Because my Bible says to. Because history proves it: Nations that bless Israel thrive. Those that curse? Not so much. Because one day, the King of the Jews will return to Jerusalem—and I want to be on the right side of that. Call me old-fashioned. Call me biblical. But yes—I am a Zionist. Proudly. Who's with me? Drop a 🇮🇱 if you stand with God's promises! #WhyIAmAZionist #ChristianZionism #BibleTruth #StandWithIsrael #GodsCovenant #EverlastingPromise

President Russell M. Nelson said: “Jesus Christ took upon Himself your sins, your pains, your heartaches, and your infirmities. You do not have to bear them alone! He will forgive you as you repent. He will bless you with what you need. He will heal your wounded soul. As you yoke yourself to Him, your burdens will feel lighter. If you will make and keep covenants to follow Jesus Christ, you will find that the painful moments of your life are temporary. Your afflictions will be ‘swallowed up in the joy of Christ’ [Alma 31:38]”
