“Our Father knows that when we are surrounded by uncertainty
and fear, what will help us the very most is to hear His Son. Because when we
seek to hear – truly hear – His Son, we will be guided to know what to do in
any circumstance. The very first word in the Doctrine and Covenants is hearken.
It means to listen with the intent to obey. To hearken means to hear Him – to
hear what the Savior says and then to heed His counsel. In those two words – Hear
Him – God gives us the pattern for success, happiness, and joy in this life.
We are to hear the words of the Lord, hearken to them, and heed what He has
told us! As we seek to be disciples of Jesus Christ, our efforts to hear Him
need to be ever more intentional. It takes conscious and consistent effort to
fill our daily lives with His words, His teachings, His truths.” - President
Russell M. Nelson
