Elder D. Todd Christofferson speaks at the 192nd Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 2-3, 2022.

Elder Christofferson teaches that no matter our mortal circumstances, we can trust that God will fulfill His promises.

God is never too early or too late. He is always on time.

“We do our best, but leave the management of blessings to Him, both temporal and spiritual.” Love listening to Elder Christofferson speak!

Listened to this talk so many times since conference. This is THE message I needed. Thank you Elder Christofferson.

This was such a powerful talk, it really touched me. Especially when he spoke of Joseph in jail and said what if Joseph had the attitude like, so this is what I get for keeping the law of chastity. But it's not that your life has to be good good good, but to know that Heavenly Father and the Lord love you, and to know that They are with you through your trials. if we could sincerely trust Them, and know that it will lead to increasing love for Them and a deeper conversion. And trusting that they never leave us. As evidenced by Joseph ending up #2 to Pharaoh only and he was able to save the entire Israelite Nation.

Love this talk... direct answer to my prayers and current trials of faith.

I love the idea that "God's plan is not a cosmic vending machine." I think we all have a tendency in the midst of our personal battles to want it to be that way . . . luckily for us, it's not.

[shandrews]

Always a favorite Speaker. We aren’t obedient for outcomes, but for a relationship with God. I wish I had understood this years ago.

[nathanbanks]

God's love for each of us is so powerful, and his enabling grace gives me such great hope for eternal life!!

[gaylepence]

No matter our experiences in our life, we can trust God to be with us. I learned this while in the hospital with covid. I prayed to get better, I prayed not to have to stay in the hospital, I prayed for so many things. What I learned was to pray for "they will be done" and learn along the way. I developed a stronger relationship with the Savior and leaned on Him!

[mariemcclure]

That was a great speech. Thank you and God bless you

This one is a great reminder for me, I feel like I'm one on one with Elder Christopherson giving me counsel.This one is what I really need to hear in this trial time of my life.What a great timing and a great counsel to start my day.Thank you for posting right away, much appreciated.

Epic talk! We do suffer form Mortal Myopia in such a big way. The "cosmic vending machine" is a great metaphor and visual. YES, we need to establish a deep personal relationship with God the Father and Jesus and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost!!

[mattwebb]

Perfectly timed talk for me. Just the day before conference, a coworker was instructing me to pray for the things I want. I told him I could do that but the Lord already knows what I want. I shared the parable from Jesus about God knowing us better than our earthly fathers. He still didn't understand why I wasn't praying for certain things. Ultimately, I don't want anything that the Lord doesn't want for me. Therefore I'll take all that he gives me and endure my trials. I'll do right by my family and honor my covenants. I don't need more than this. But I can't have any less. Make sense?

“We can trust God & find Joy in him” 💙🙏🏽✨

[shadrackbarasa]

Just listening to this makes me acclaim " Lord they will be done"

[jakeclayson]
