From the Desk of Jimmy McDermott, Elders Quorum President

We are all currently experiencing a change in life and emotions that are new to all of us. A recent article in the Harvard Business Review titled, That Discomfort You Are Feeling Is Grief puts a name to our emotions andoutlines why it’s important to acknowledge the grief you are feeling, how to manage it, and how we can find meaning in it.  

We can take additional comfort in having a living prophet who leads and guides us in what we can do to find peace and comfort in these times. In President Nelsons April 2018 conference address titled, Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives he said, “Our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, will perform some of His mightiest works between now and when He comes again. We will see miraculous indications that God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, preside over this Church in majesty and glory. But in coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.” I pray that we will seek to have the Holy Ghost in our lives as we all navigate this new reality together.
