Let Him Shape Your Heart

Be of good cheer

And do not fear

The Lord is near

Give Him your ear

Let Him speak to you

In your heart and mind

Search His words anew

Such love you will find!

Let Him shape your heart

And expand your soul

From Him, truth imparts

In joy and sorrow

This gift, freely share

To lift, He does care

Yes, He is aware

Pray. Ask. He is there!

He has overcome

All awful moments

Each pain... He has won

Love's reach to all opens

Let Him to and through you

Seek the Spirit, begin

Express gratitude

And testify of Him

The Gift of Testimony

Eighteen years ago, Valérie and I received a telephone call from President Thomas S. Monson, during which he called me to serve as a General Authority Seventy. We accepted in faith, knowing that this calling would profoundly change the course of our lives.

The next morning, as I prayed for comfort and guidance, I felt prompted to open a copy of the Liahona magazine lying on our kitchen table. Almost immediately, my eyes found this reassuring promise from the Lord: “Be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ.”

That scripture brought peace to my heart. I realized that my primary responsibility was simply to bear witness of the Savior. Everything else would be in His hands.



A Precious Gift from God

The gift of testimony is deeply personal. It is received in the intimacy of our relationship with God and shaped according to our unique experiences, circumstances, and needs. It grows through faith, earnest seeking, gospel living, and the quiet influence of the Holy Ghost. Truly, “to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God” is one of life’s greatest blessings and a precious gift from God.

John 16:33

New Testament


33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Doctrine and Covenants 68:6

Doctrine and Covenants


6 Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come.
