From the depths of your heart
Stretch forth to Christ.
Let His healing impart.
He hears your cries.
This morning I shared the biblical story of the woman who suffered for 12 years with a debilitating problem. I’d like to invite you to consider the significance of her reaching to touch the Savior.
She exercised great faith, exclaiming, “If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.” This faithful, focused woman needed to stretch as far as she could to access His power. Her physical stretching was symbolic of her spiritual stretching.
Many of us have cried out from the depths of our hearts a variation of this woman’s words: “If I could spiritually stretch enough to draw the Savior’s power into my life, I would know how to handle my heart-wrenching situation. I would know what to do. And I would have the power to do it.”When you reach up for the Lord’s power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ will be yours. When the Savior knows you truly want to reach up to Him—when He can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw His power into your life—you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know exactly what you need to do. #LDSconf https://www.facebook.com/lds.russell.m.nelson/

Before Kimball was ordained
His heart needed to be right
That he'd be disabled pained...
But this burden was made light
Of presidents' of the church, there had been three deaths in three years and President Kimball was next in line to be the prophet. He did not want to be a burden on the brethren. Harold B. Lee (the prophet at the time) instilled confidence into President Kimball that the surgery was the right thing! Russell M. Nelson gave new meaning to the definition of sustaining your leaders. He did surgery on President Kimball and wrote a letter of his confidence in his abilities to function as he was soon called to be a prophet because Harold B. Lee died of cardiac and lung failure!
