Nearly 30 years ago, President Henry B. Eyring, who was then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, said something in general conference that I have not forgotten. I shared his insight this past Sunday as I spoke to the students of BYU–Idaho.

“One of the ways we may know that the warning is from the Lord is that the law of witnesses, authorized witnesses, has been invoked. When the words of prophets seem repetitive, that should rivet our attention and fill our hearts with gratitude to live in such a blessed time” (“Finding Safety in Counsel,” Apr. 1997).

Two weeks ago, President Dallin H. Oaks repeated the warning issued by President Russell M. Nelson from general conference in April 2018:

“In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.”

So, what do you do to rivet your attention, to assure that you survive spiritually by having the constant influence of the Holy Ghost?

You look carefully at your daily activities. Am I praying? Am I thoughtfully partaking of the sacrament? What am I putting into my mind? Am I associating with others who seek the constant influence of the Holy Ghost? What could be my distractions, my obstacles, or my deceptions? You pray for inspiration and courage to make any changes you need to make.

Let us be true disciples of Jesus Christ. The Redeemer of Israel knows you, loves you, and will strengthen you as you seek to draw closer to Him.

Elder D. Martin Goury of the Canada Area Presidency reflects on the blessing of cultural diversity that Canada enjoys.

A native of Côte d’Ivoire, Elder Goury has served since April 2024 as a General Authority Seventy. He was formerly a seventy in the Africa West Area and served as president of Benin Cotonou Mission of the Church.

Elder Goury urges members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Canada to “enjoy and embrace this blessing” remembering that each of us are “no longer strangers, but fellow citizens.”
