Brothers and sisters,
how do we protect our children and youth? Filters are useful tools,
but the greatest filter in the world, the only one that will
ultimately work, is the personal internal filter that comes from a
deep and abiding testimony of our Heavenly Father’s love and our
Savior’s atoning sacrifice for each one of us.
How do we lead our children to deep conversion and to access our
Savior’s Atonement? I love the prophet Nephi’s declaration of what his
people did to fortify the youth of his day: “We talk of Christ, we
rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, [and] we prophesy of Christ …
that our children may know to what source they may look for a
remission of their sins.” - Linda S. Reeves, “Protection

I know that the Book of Mormon is true! I cannot explain the power of
this great book. I only know that, coupled with prayer, the Book of
Mormon carries the power to protect families, strengthen
relationships, and give personal confidence before the Lord. - Linda

This
past year I have needed and wanted to feel the love of the Lord
more deeply, to receive personal revelation, to better
understand my temple covenants, and to have my burdens
lightened. As I have prayed specifically for these blessings, I
have felt the Spirit directing me to go to the temple and listen
more closely to each word of the blessings pronounced upon me. I
testify that as I have listened more intently and tried to
exercise my faith, the Lord has been merciful to me and has
helped make my burdens light. He has helped me to feel great
peace about prayers that have not yet been answered. We bind the
Lord to keep His promises when we keep our covenants and
exercise our faith. - Linda

When we are involved in watching,
reading, or experiencing anything that is below our Heavenly
Father’s standards, it weakens us. Regardless of our age, if what we
look at, read, listen to, or choose to do does not meet the Lord’s
standards in For the Strength of Youth, turn it off, rip it up,
throw it out, and slam the door. - Linda

Understandably, many have expressed that our Father’s promised
blessings are just “way too far away,” particularly when our lives
are overflowing with challenges. But Amulek taught that “this life
is the time … to prepare to meet God.” It is not the time to receive
all of our blessings. President Packer explained, “‘And they all
lived happily ever after’ is never written into the second act. That
line belongs in the third act, when the mysteries are solved and
everything is put right.” However, a vision of our Father’s
incredible promised blessings must be the central focus before our
eyes every day—as well as an awareness “of the multitude of his
tender mercies” that we experience on a daily basis. – Linda
