What helps you to endure to the end?

[Sunday21]

Read D&C 124:16–19, 87–90, 97–110. The men in these verses received great instructions and promises. However, they fell into apostasy and forfeited many of their blessings. What has helped you most in your efforts to endure to the end in righteousness?

What helps me to endure to the end?

Visit teaching! It is a challenge to meet my sisters every month but making this a priority helps me make my faith a priority.

Reading the Book of Mormon daily.

Attending the temple! Love the peace of the temple! Love sealing my ancestors together.

Perspective: making the important (eternal) aspects of my life larger than less important ones in the painting of my life.

This is profound! Thanks!

The witness I have received from the Spirit, and the personal miracles in my life, is the reason I believe I will endure to the end.

Daily conversations with my Heavenly Father. I find nothing strengthens my testimony more than really talking to God on a daily basis.

I need to get better at this.  I should set a time period "I will pray every day at X o'clock for X number of days.

@Grunt Yeah having a set time I usually pray does help me remember to pray a little easier (although I also pray frequently throughout the day when it occurs to me too.)

Praying alot and I also started a blessings diary a while back.  My Patriarchal blessing was also amazing and answered a lot of questions that had been praying on my mind and put them to bed so I read that often.

What is that, if you don't mind my asking?

[An Investigator]

Not sure what you mean..

The week leading up to my Patriarchal blessing was horrific, it was so bad I nearly didn't go I was absolutely crippled with anxiety and depression and it was just amazing.. I think to most people my blessing probably isn't anything special... I doesn't say I am going to do great things,  It just reminds me that I am loved and tells me in the end, as long as I am faithful everything will work out  

 

A blessings diary is every night I try and write two things that have happened to me which have been a blessing, like finding some money to buy a coke at work or my son picking me a flower out of the garden,  small stuff that we can over look

I don't know what a Patriarchal blessing is.  I can ask the missionaries.

[An Investigator]

OH... sorry!  A Patriarchal Blessing is a really special blessing you get from a guy called to do these blessings,  we believe if we follow the instruction it gives us from Heavenly Father we will be happy and have greater direction in life.   Most people in the Church get it as teenagers but I am a convert to the Church so I had mine in my 30s.   Normally people don't share what is in them (except the odd remark) with anyone but their family.   I am the only member of my family in the Church so I shared my experience with my best friend as she is the only member in her family also.

I'm speaking metaphorically: sometimes all I can do is look down at my feet and take one more step, and then the next, and then the next, and then the next...

...but of course I can't get where I want to go if I never look up. And so it's also very helpful to sing. Elder Boyd K. Packer gave some excellent advice in this regard. And I'm not limited to only one genre.

Clarifying what my end actually is helps me endure to that end.

end

n.

4. A result; an outcome.

I don't know.  I'll let you know if I'm successful.
