Our Church Leaders

Sometimes, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, LDS or Mormons, we tend to forget our leadership are human also. That they are not flawless but human like the rest of us. As members, we need to show our support and activity to them and to respect their leadership over us.

As we are aware of our humanity, we should be aware of theirs. President Thomas S. Monson is a true Prophet of God and leads us through inspiration of our Heavenly Father. He is guided and leads us through prayer and supplication with the Lord. As he goes through the humility and prayer for us, we should also go through the same thing for him and the rest of the leaders of the Church.

Heavenly Father gives us the same opportunity to have prophecy as far as our family is concerned. I woke up this morning with happiness and a prayer on my lips. I prayed that Heavenly Father would bless us all and especially those who are sick and afflicted. Both people and animals. I know to some this seems a bit extreme but I feel the we received our animal friends to comfort and love us in our time of need so I feel they should be blessed also.

Maybe my heart is to sensitive. Maybe my sensitivity is to much for our fellow man. Just maybe that is why I am who I am. I remember as a child, I'd be so into Christ that I'd be at the church alter almost every week when we were members of the Salvation Army Church. I was involved in the band and in sharing the gospel. Little did I know at the time it was preparing me for a larger and better assignment. Because of my sensitivity, I now understand how hard it is to lead and guide even my own family. I miss and love them all dearly. I pray in the name of Jesus that they will be provided for and guided by the power of Jesus Christ to do righteous and helpful things for their own families.  I know that through their own powers of inspiration and prayer that they to can share the Holy Ghost in their lives.

Everyone has the opportunity to provide their families with the power of prayer and supplication with the Lord. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that we all share our faith and love with those around us. I pray that we be blessed with the spirit to provide whatever assistance is needed to our families and those in need. I also pray that we remember our leaders in and out of the church that they be inspired of the Lord to lead us in righteousness and prayer. I know we are but a small measure in this world of peril and contention but if provided with the right power and authority, we can move mountains. Please remember our leaders in your prayers daily as they are only human as you and I. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior, Amen.
