Start Each Day with the Prophet’s Words
- [President Camille N. Johnson] “I’ve had the opportunity to look into the eyes of our Prophet, who I know to be the Lord’s mouthpiece on the earth today, and feel the love of my Savior through him. What I wish for all of my sisters around the world is to have an experience feeling the love of our Savior through the words of our Prophet. And while I realize that I have been uniquely blessed to be physically present with him, all of us have an opportunity to have that experience as we listen to and study his words.
“You know, President Nelson has given 112 conference talks. I’ve studied all of them. I’ve made it a personal habit to listen to President Nelson every morning before I leave for the day. It’s made a remarkable difference in my life. I leave the house more joyful and more optimistic because he is. It sets my resolve more firmly on the covenant path. I think celestial. I think I’m a better peacemaker. When I listen to President Nelson’s words each morning, it stills me for the challenges of the day.
“And so I invite my sisters, my brothers and sisters and friends of all faiths, to listen to President Nelson, to study his words. I trust that as you do, you will feel the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is clearly one of his primary roles as our Prophet to invite the Savior, Jesus Christ, into our lives as he witnesses of His reality.”

| Saturday, November 2, 2024 | “The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again“ | October 2024 General Conference | “I urge you to devote time each week—for the rest of your life—to increase your understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. My heart aches for those who are mired in sin and don’t know how to get out. I weep for those who struggle spiritually or who carry heavy burdens alone because they do not understand what Jesus Christ did for them.” |
| Sunday, November 3, 2024 | “Rejoice in the Gift of Priesthood Keys“ | April 2024 General Conference | “Consider how your life would be different if priesthood keys had not been restored to the earth. … Priesthood keys distinguish The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from any other organization on earth. Many other organizations can and do make your life better here in mortality. But no other organization can and will influence your life after death.” |
| Monday, November 4, 2024 | “‘Come, Let Us Adore Him’“ | 2023 First Presidency’s Christmas Devotional | “I pray that you will take full advantage of the Savior’s Atonement by repenting daily, making your life increasingly pure, and seeking heavenly guidance in all that you do. … I also pray that you will use this holiday season to begin a season of even greater personal worship. Begin anew to study the teachings and the Atonement of Jesus Christ.” |
| Tuesday, November 5, 2024 | “Think Celestial!“ | October 2023 General Conference | “As you think celestial, your heart will gradually change. You will want to pray more often and more sincerely. Please don’t let your prayers sound like a shopping list. The Lord’s perspective transcends your mortal wisdom. His response to your prayers may surprise you and will help you to think celestial.” |
| Wednesday, November 6, 2024 | “The Answer Is Always Jesus Christ“ | April 2023 General Conference | “Whatever questions or problems you have, the answer is always found in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Learn more about His Atonement, His love, His mercy, His doctrine, and His restored gospel of healing and progression. Turn to Him! Follow Him!” |
| Thursday, November 7, 2024 | “Peacemakers Needed“ | April 2023 General Conference | “How we treat each other really matters! How we speak to and about others at home, at church, at work, and online really matters. Today, I am asking us to interact with others in a higher, holier way. Please listen carefully. ‘If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy’ that we can say about another person—whether to his face or behind her back—that should be our standard of communication.” |
| Friday, November 8, 2024 | “Focus on the Temple“ | October 2022 General Conference | “During these five magnificent sessions of general conference, we have once again experienced that the heavens are open! I pray that you have recorded your impressions and will follow through with them. Our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, stand ready to help you. I urge you to increase your efforts to seek Their help.” |
| Saturday, November 9, 2024 | “Overcome the World and Find Rest“ | October 2022 General Conference | “I extend to members of the entire Church the same charge I gave to our young adults last May. I urged them then—and I plead with you now—to take charge of your own testimony of Jesus Christ and His gospel. Work for it. Nurture it so that it will grow. Feed it truth. Don’t pollute it with false philosophies of unbelieving men and women. As you make the continual strengthening of your testimony of Jesus Christ your highest priority, watch for miracles to happen in your life.” |
| Sunday, November 10, 2024 | “What Is True?“ | October 2022 General Conference | “Dear brothers and sisters, God is the source of all truth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints embraces all truth that God conveys to His children, whether learned in a scientific laboratory or received by direct revelation from Him.” |
| Monday, November 11, 2024 | “Choices for Eternity“ | Worldwide Devotional for Young Adults: Sunday, May 15, 2022 | “Make no mistake about it: Your potential is divine. With your diligent seeking, God will give you glimpses of who you may become. So who are you? First and foremost, you are a child of God, a child of the covenant, and a disciple of Jesus Christ. As you embrace these truths, our Heavenly Father will help you reach your ultimate goal of living eternally in His holy presence.” |
| Tuesday, November 12, 2024 | “Now Is the Time“ | April 2022 General Conference | “Yes, we should learn from the past, and yes, we should prepare for the future. But only now can we do. Now is the time we can learn. Now is the time we can repent. Now is the time we can bless others and ‘lift up the hands which hang down.'” |
| Wednesday, November 13, 2024 | “The Power of Spiritual Momentum“ | April 2022 General Conference | “Today I would like to suggest five specific actions we can take to help us maintain positive spiritual momentum. First: Get on the covenant path and stay there. … Discover the joy of daily repentance. … My third suggestion: Learn about God and how He works. … Suggestion number 4: Seek and expect miracles. … Suggestion number 5: End conflict in your personal life.“ |
| Thursday, November 14, 2024 | “Preaching the Gospel of Peace“ | April 2022 General Conference | “Today I reaffirm strongly that the Lord has asked every worthy, able young man to prepare for and serve a mission. For Latter-day Saint young men, missionary service is a priesthood responsibility. … For you young and able sisters, a mission is also a powerful, but optional, opportunity. We love sister missionaries and welcome them wholeheartedly. … We also welcome senior couples to serve when their circumstances permit. Their efforts are simply irreplaceable.” |
| Friday, November 15, 2024 | “Make Time for the Lord“ | October 2021 General Conference | “If most of the information you get comes from social or other media, your ability to hear the whisperings of the Spirit will be diminished. If you are not also seeking the Lord through daily prayer and gospel study, you leave yourself vulnerable to philosophies that may be intriguing but are not true. Even Saints who are otherwise faithful can be derailed by the steady beat of Babylon’s band.” |
| Saturday, November 16, 2024 | “The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation“ | October 2021 General Conference | “To each of you who has made temple covenants, I plead with you to seek—prayerfully and consistently—to understand temple covenants and ordinances. Spiritual doors will open. You will learn how to part the veil between heaven and earth, how to ask for God’s angels to attend you, and how better to receive direction from heaven.” |

“Come, Listen to a Prophet’s Voice” (Hymn No. 21)
- “Come, listen to a prophet’s voice,
And hear the word of God,
And in the way of truth rejoice,
And sing for joy aloud.
We’ve found the way the prophets went
Who lived in days of yore.
Another prophet now is sent
This knowledge to restore.” - “The gloom of sullen darkness spread
Thru earth’s extended space
Is banished by our living Head,
And God has shown his face.
Thru erring schemes in days now past
The world has gone astray;
Yet Saints of God have found at last
The straight and narrow way.” - “‘Tis not in man they put their trust
Nor on his arm rely.
Full well assured, all are accursed
Who Jesus Christ deny.
The Savior to his people saith,
‘Let all my words obey,
And signs shall follow living faith,
Down to the latest day.'” - “Then heed the words of truth and light
That flow from fountains pure.
Yea, keep His law with all thy might
Till thine election’s sure,
Till thou shalt hear the holy voice
Assure eternal reign,
While joy and cheer attend thy choice,
As one who shall obtain.”
