Mosiah 24 will be the topic for the next three days. Today we will focus on verses 12-13. Alma and his people were being persecuted and commanded that they could not pray or they were to be put to death. So they reached out to the Lord through the, "thoughts of their hearts."

Doctrine and Covenants 101:16.At the time of this verse, the saints were facing a great deal of persecution. They were being driven from their homes and didn't know what to do.

2026-04-1604 minsmall and simple: a daily versefor behold, I am a son of GodMoses 1:1-13 is an incredible story. I especially love verses 6 and 12-13. Moses talks, face-to-face with God and learns more about his divine heritage. He learns that he is a child of the one true God! He learns that he was created in similitude of the Only Begotten of the Father, our Savior Jesus Christ. After this experience, Satan comes to tempt him, but Moses remembers who he was and is, a child of God. When we know who we are, children of God, the devil trembles. And God gives us his power. Power comes from knowing who you...

Even after the hard times, the times when it feels like everything has fallen apart, declaring "I will rejoice in the Lord," provides hope. And it provides power. The Lord's power.Another thought. Remember, good can come in the unlikeliest of places. Seek it and ye shall find.

2026-04-1101 minsmall and simple: a daily verseupon the rock of our RedeemerEach of us are building our lives. Everyday, we are building something unique to us. What we are building is something the devil wants to destroy. Helaman 5:12 is a great reminder to us of how weak the devil truly is and how strong our Savior is. If we build our lives on Jesus Christ as our foundation, there is not a single thing the devil can do to drag us down, because of the rock upon which we are built, "whereon if men build they cannot fall." Christ is your greatest strength. Trust him.
