Isn’t it marvelous, brothers and sisters, that God, who knows everything, still spends time listening to our prayers? Compared to that cosmic fact, what does the world really have to offer us? One round of applause, one fleeting moment of adulation, or an approving glance from a phantom Caesar?
May God bless us to see things as they really are and as they really will be (Jacob 4:13; Doctrine & Covenants 93:24), and may we give the glory and honor and praise unto God, which I now do.
