We improve our relationship with our Heavenly Father by learning of Him, by communing with Him, by repenting of our sins, and by actively following Jesus Christ, for “no man cometh unto the Father, but by [Christ].”10 To strengthen our relationship with God, we need some meaningful time alone with Him. Quietly focusing on daily personal prayer and scripture study, always aiming to be worthy of a current temple recommend—these will be some wise investments of our time and efforts to draw closer to our Heavenly Father. Let us heed the invitation in Psalms: “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Of Things That Matter Most, November 2010 Ensign
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Second Counselor in the First Presidency
Elder Neil L. Andersen, "Never Leave Him", November 2010 Ensign, quoted the prophet from the May 2009 Ensign:
President Monson has promised, “Your testimony, when constantly nourished, will keep you safe.
Elder Andersen the adds to that promise by saying:
We push our spiritual roots deep, feasting daily on the words of Christ in the scriptures. We trust in the words of living prophets, placed before us to show us the way. We pray and pray and listen to the quiet voice of the Holy Ghost that leads us along and speaks peace to our soul. Whatever challenges arise, we never, never leave Him.
