"May we cherish him in our thoughts and speak his name with love. May we kneel before him with meekness and mercy. May we bless and serve others that they may do the same." Howard W. Hunter

And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again."

"What is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know." Thomas S. Monson

In times of tragedy, we often reach for God. But do we continue reaching for Him when life becomes calm?

As we remember September 11, may we also remember the faith, prayer, compassion, and unity that followed. May our devotion to God be more than a temporary response to sorrow. May we keep Him at the center of our lives in difficult times—and in times of peace.

“It is constancy that God would have from us.”

—Thomas S. Monson

Proverbs teaches us to seek God’s wisdom—but Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is not always simple. Even wise and faithful people experience grief, uncertainty, and difficult days.
Together, these books lead us to the same truth:
❤️ “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart.” —Proverbs 3:5
📖 “Fear God, and keep his commandments.” —Ecclesiastes 12:13
Trusting the Lord does not mean every path will be easy or that we will understand everything. It means we can keep walking, knowing that He sees the entire path and will direct our steps.
Life is always better—even if it is not always perfect—when we trust and follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
What part of your path do you need to trust the Lord with right now?

When life is good, it is easier for me to feel Jesus Christ near. But when life becomes dark and painful, I sometimes wonder, “Why does He feel so far away?”

That question reminds me of something that happened many years ago.

One morning, my little boy came running into the house and nervously told me to follow him. I followed as he hurried outside, pointed toward the clear blue sky, and asked, “Where did they go?”

It was a beautiful, sunny morning. I scanned the sky, trying to see what he had seen.

“Where did what go?” I asked. “An airplane?”

He shook his head.

“A helicopter?”

“No.”

“What did you see?”

Shielding his eyes from the bright sun, he continued searching.

“Where did the shining stars go?” he asked with concern. “There were lots of them last night, right up there, but now they’re gone.”

I explained, “The stars are still there. We just can’t see them because the sunlight is so bright. When it becomes dark again, we will see them.”

“Phew!” he said, wiping his forehead. “I love those shining stars!”

I have never forgotten that moment.

My little boy couldn’t see the stars, so he thought they had disappeared. Sometimes I do the same thing with the Savior. When I cannot feel Him, I wonder if He is still there.

But the stars taught me that being unseen is not the same as being absent.

Sometimes faith means seeking Him anyway—praying when heaven feels quiet, opening the scriptures once more, and trusting Him enough to take another step.

Looking back on some of my darkest days, I can now see lights I missed then: strength that was not my own, words my heart needed, and people who reached out at just the right time.

I would never say I loved the darkness. But I can say what my little boy said:

“I love those shining stars.” ✨

Even when I cannot see Him, He sees me.
Even when I cannot hear Him, He hears me.
Even when I cannot feel Him, He has not left me.

The darkness was real.
But so was His light.

The shining stars are still there.
And so is He. ✨

If our journey through life is to be successful, we need to follow divine direction. The Lord said, ‘Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.' And the Psalmist wrote, ‘Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path’ [Psalm 119:105]. …

“In your journey through life, you meet many obstacles and make some mistakes. Scriptural guidance helps you to recognize error and make the necessary correction. You stop going in the wrong direction. You carefully study the scriptural road map. Then you proceed with repentance and restitution required to get on the ‘strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life’. -Russell M. Nelson
