Inspirational Message | Daily Restoration | Elder Uchtdorf

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf and Church members compare drifting in life to the circles walked by test participants in a dense forest. Shadows creep in off the path, but we can chase away darkness and come back.

I don't know why I decided to watch this, I haven't watched any of the Church videos in my feed for a couple of years, but I am glad I did.

From my wilderness survival training: pick a tree, rock, or other object directly in your proposed straight line and walk to it. When you get there align yourself with your point of beginning. Then pick another tree directly in your direction of travel. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Then you will walk in a straight path.

It works for traveling the covenant path in the gospel of Jesus Christ, too.

I’ve always gone to church and tried to do my best to stay close to God, but struggling with bipolar disorder, it often feels like my discipleship is determined by my mood. I think what matters is God knows we’re trying even if to him we took many detours along the way. 😊

Here we are among the trees,
Seeking a glimpse of what God sees
To rise above the vast evergreen,
Gives us some hope of what this could mean.

And- is the difference between Lehi's family being led to the ocean and to the Promised land, vs. The Israelites wandering for 40 years in the desert.... when left to your own devices, you'll never get there.

Every video I watch on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints' channel always makes me cry. This video was no exception.

Keep your eyes on the north star, the unmoving, unchanging Savior of the world. I love this thought, the idea of wandering through the wilderness while keeping our eyes on Him will help us to course correct and recommit to His plan. Keep it up, don't give up!

Sometimes doing the same things day after day after day can feel monotonous and even pointless. However, making certain our communication connection to our Heavenly Father and the Savior is strong and clear ALL of the time is so important because we do not know when it will be desperately needed. In that moment of need we will be extremely blessed because of the strength of our connection, more so than we can know. I left the church, stayed away for 40 years. Now that I have returned I do not ever want to be disconnected from the Holy Ghost, our Heavenly Father and our Savior EVER! Not even for a few minutes! I have learned the hard way how empty life is without that spiritual companionship. With it we do not have anything to fear in life. Faith, comfort, peace and spiritual guidance is worth more than everything else in life!

I've found that I need daily restoration in my life. It is so much harder for me to deal with life's pressures, if I have not, or am not constantly throughout the day, seeking my Savior's spirit and comfort. As I strive for this, it comes more and more quickly. This can be true for all of us, no matter where we have been.

Such a good message; especially right now in 2023.... I think a lot of people "Think" they are on a straight path when in fact they are not. My favorite part of this video is the quote that is shared from Elder Uchdtorf " Do you want to change the shape of your life....Then change the shape of your day." Its so easy to get in a rut, get comfortable, get complacent. Small things can lead us off the path but small things can also lead us back on the path.

I wept when I watched this. I wasn't sad, It just touched me to my core!

[NeilYoungHorne]

What a great video. Reminds me of the teaching in Ether 2:5-6: "5 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded them that they should go forth into the wilderness, yea, into that quarter where there never had man been. And it came to pass that the Lord did go before them, and did talk with them as he stood in a cloud, and gave directions whither they should travel. 6 And it came to pass that they did travel in the wilderness, and did build barges, in which they did cross many waters, being directed continually by the hand of the Lord."

We can change. Nobody is too far gone.
