We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

Temple


Ahhhhh, peace. We went to the temple tonight. It felt really good.

"Sometimes our minds are so beset with problems, and there are so many things clamoring for our attention at once that we can just not think clearly and see clearly. At the temple the dust of distraction seams to settle out, the fog and haze seam to lift, and we can "see" things we were not able to see before and find ways through our troubles that we had not previously known.
The lord will bless us as we attend to the sacred ordinance work of the temple. Blessings there will not be limited to our temple service. We will be blessed in all of our affairs."
-President Boyd K. Packer
