This past weekend was the 184th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As always, it was two days full of inspiring messages and music from the leadership of the church.
I loved the entire Sunday morning session of the conference. Every speaker's message and piece of music was so uplifting, and just what I needed to hear. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed an arrangement of "Let Us All Press On" that gave me goosebumps. Courage! Fear not! The Lord is on our side! I wanted to stand up and march in triumph when I heard it; it is such an encouraging message.
Later in the session, Elder David A. Bednar spoke, and his message acted as a second witness to the words of the hymn "Let Us All Press On". In part he said,
"We are not and never need be alone. We can press forward in our daily lives with heavenly help. Through the Savior's Atonement we can receive capacity and strength beyond our own. It is one thing to know that Jesus Christ came to earth to die for us, but we also need to appreciate that the Lord desires, through His Atonement and by the power of the Holy Ghost, to enliven us — not only to guide but also to strengthen and heal us."

True True. That arrangement of "Let Us All Press On' was spectacular.And this expanded, enlightened perspective of the Atonement is much needed.
Thanks for pointing out this excellent segment of General Conference.
It was an impressive conference. (When is it not?) But there were a few talks about hanging on and enduring and being happy while life is hard.
It was comforting.
