Living Prophet
The temple lies at the center of strengthening our faith and spiritual fortitude because the Savior and
His doctrine are the very heart of the temple. Everything taught in the temple, through instruction and
through the Spirit, increases our understanding of Jesus Christ.… as we keep our covenants, He
endows us with His healing, strengthening power. And oh, how we will need His power in the days
ahead... The Lord has declared that despite today’s unprecedented challenges, those who build their
foundations upon Jesus Christ, and have learned how to draw upon His power, need not succumb to
the unique anxieties of this era.... Everything we believe and every promise God has made to His
covenant people come together in the temple. Whenever any kind of upheaval occurs in your life, the
safest place to be spiritually is living inside your temple covenants! (Russell M. Nelson, The Temple
and Your Spiritual Foundation, October 2021)
● What are some of the reasons God wants you to experience the temple?
[the reason God wants to go to the temple is to know my spiritual weakness and to build on it, and to make
sure my spiritual foundation is firm so that when challenges comes my way the spiritual strenght that i
recieve from the temple will help me to withstand the storm]
