Leann and Melissa discuss spiritual confidence and how growing in charity and virtue help us feel more confident in God’s presence.
Ponder Questions:
Do I have confidence to approach God right now?
Where am I at right now?
Am I being a peacemaker?
Am I focusing on developing Christlike attributes?
Do I say, “I love this person, but . . .”?
What can I do to increase spiritual confidence?
What would change in my life if I strove for spiritual confidence daily?
Invitation:
Study President Nelson’s talk “Confidence in the Presence of God,” go into the footnotes, and find the nuggets for yourself. Pray for charity.
