“President Nelson has repeatedly pled with us to make time
for the Lord in our lives every day. He reminds us quiet time is sacred
time—time which facilitates personal revelation and instills peace. To hear the
still voice of the Lord, you too must be still. Being still requires more than
just making time. It requires letting go of doubtful and fearful thoughts and
focusing our hearts and minds on Him. Elder David A. Bednar taught, ‘The Lord’s
admonition to be still entails much more than simply not talking or not moving.’
To be still, he suggested, ‘may be a way to focus upon the Savior unfailingly.’
Being still is an act of faith and requires effort. President Nelson declared: ‘Our
focus must be riveted on the Savior and His gospel. It is mentally rigorous to
strive to look unto Him in every thought. When we do, our doubts and fears
flee.’” – Bishop L. Todd Budge
