My wife has decided to leave the church and it's caused a lot of problems. We don't even know if we can stay together now, even though we love each other deeply. This talk has been the perfect calming tonic for my emotions right now, and it is filled with wisdom. Thank you president Uchtdorf.
Dustin, something has happened to me as well. It is very hard. You can do it! I am a part of a wonderful support group for this kind of thing. There are people to help you.
Rather than dwelling on immensities of our challenges, would it not be better to focus on the infinite greatness, goodness and absolute power of our god. Trusting him and preparing with a joyful for the return of Jesus Christ? Dieter F Uchtdorf
I have such a testimony of Jesus Christ, this His Church, and this concept. 💕 Love to everyone, and prayers that you too will be able to feel His (Jesus) presence and follow his voice as you continue on your journeys toward God.
I feel so content how is he this amazing I can’t believe how much of my prayers he’s answered just watching this video he’s helped me so much with everything thank you Lord for this amazing example in my life
A perfect rendering of the compassionate doctrine set forth by the prophet Joseph Smith in the 121st Section of the Doctrine & Covenants. Again, thank you Elder Uchdorff (sp).
Thank you for the inspiring and reaffirmations of Christ's pure LOVE. This is a great reminder that human nature is malleable and often conditioned to project fear instead of love. When people are misguided by fear, their words and actions do not align. For their faith is unsteady & shaky bc only when yr in tuned to the Spirit, can you sense their their helplessness. Call it intuition and divine nature but it is how compassion for another is nurtured. Being one with your calling is magnanimous and light.
I know I’m several years after this talk was given. But last night I had a very profound experience that taught me this on a deeper level than Iv ever known. First off, these last several months my mind has been opened up and I’ve been going through the biggest spiritual awakening of my life. With that, the veil has become very thin, and just last night it was so thin I felt like I was about to completely break through. Long story, short, every night before I read, I cast out all evil spirits and invite the good ones. Only this time, my home was filled with at least 50 spirits, who were all my ancestors and family. I could see them and talk to them in my mind.. sounds crazy, I know. But the best part was that I saw my old dog, jag, who died several years ago. I saw him walking down the hallway and in my mind called him to me. His spirit immediately ran towards me and stopped and sat at my feet. I bent down to pet him (physical body petting a spiritual one) And the moment that we connected I felt a love that was deeper than anything I’ve ever known... that love literally cast out all my fears. (Background story, with my ability to see spirits, I also see dark and evil ones. They sometimes come out of nowhere and surprise me which freaks me out quite a bit. But with that love that I felt from my dear old jag, all of that fear was completely gone. No amount of evil spirits, doing the worst and scariest they could do, could ever scare me and make me fear.. so, yes, indeed, “real love, casteth out all fear.” These words have never rang more true to me in my life
I know EXACTLY what you are saying. I experience the same thing. It’s absolutely beautiful. Everyone has spiritual gifts. You’re not crazy at all. I’ve had MANY similar experiences since I was a child and even now. I believe one of the reasons we have this gift, is for family history :)
President Uchtdorf adds to the Church Leadership a different perspective...being European, possess an education and background that when filtered through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, adds a wealth of knowledge to the church. His superior wisdom is needed for the work of the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve. And he is doing his work in the most awesome manner.
We do not walk the path of discipleship alone. The Lord thy GOD does go with thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace.

Beautiful, gentle and Lovingly kind words. I feel the Spirit of these words came through a genuine sincerity of the man who spoke them. May these same Intentions Bless him and keep him through all challenges that may lay ahead.
What a blessing to have to bounces on such a heart uplifting and spiritual uplifting message! When I thought of all dark and gloomy world and perilous time's we live in,then to hear a servant of the Lord outright saying it's wonderful to have lived in these time's of abundance of technology and being able to manoeuvre in these time's. He not only is blessed but would not exchange his life now for any other time.Really fear blind's us to appreciate what God has put before us.Greatest talk of all time's for my fright of these testing time's. I'm humbled elder Uchtdorf.
Thank you for your hopeful talks in General conference! If I were to have to choose one person to listen to out of all the Mormon leadership it would be you. I feel hope and faith when I listen to you! Thank you!
Any of you that are strong LDS have you ever felt the presense of the Heavenly Father inside your body and know that its him bc of the beautiful feeling of Heaven it gives you? Does any of you know what I'm talking about? I'm trying to find other LDS members that have this gift of feeling such beautiful wonderful things inside their body bc it is the Heavenly Fathers presense. You know it is the Father bc of how strong it is and the way it feels like Heaven.
3:17-3:32 I wish it wasn't true. Although they are fun and important to us. But as much as they are there for us, many times it can be a death trap for us walking in the road to being with Christ. The habits we have in our lives with those resources, the addictions we can potentially get (which is what I've been affected by the most for almost 17 years, and I bet most of you are still getting affected by this to this day) is what can get in our way and that is why it is so important to pray to Heavenly Father for help and to study scripturesto find answers to compare what issues we have, and see if we have enough strength and faith to overcome them. That line from him caught my attention so much to me. And no lie, it was funny lol. But to me personally, it did shock me with little down feeling. It is so true on what's going on to society in this planet Earth.
Is it ever too late to turn to the Lord? Does he even love me? its been hard to figure that out during this whole pandemic and this turmoil and this destruction
