All the "awake" and "arise" verses in the scriptures are meant for those who are already awake physically, but need to arise spiritually! We should encourage young people to "Get up and glow!" and let their standards shine to their family, their school, their neighborhood and the world.

Your prayers offered in righteousness will be answered. I bless you to be true friends to each other and to those not of your circle to whom we should reach out. Above that, I bless you to be friends of the Savior of the world, to know Him personally, and to have confidence in His company.

Just as our bodies hunger for food when we are fasting, our souls hunger for daily nourishment. “If you’re not praying, studying the scriptures, and going to the temple, it’s like letting the battery on your cell phone run down. You get grouchy and depressed and start questioning your testimony. Your spiritual batteries need recharging, too.”

The true essence of Christmas lies in embracing the full scope of Christ’s life - His birth, ministry, atoning sacrifice, and Resurrection - which brings profound comfort and joy even amidst personal trials. Through faith in the Savior’s redemptive power, every season can be transformed into a time of hope, healing, and divine reassurance, no matter the challenges faced.
