President Henry B. Eyring

Second counselor, First Presidency

Taking time in a busy world to remember God's blessings is one way to invite the influence of the Holy Ghost.

" ... find ways to recognize and remember God's kindness. It will build our testimonies. You may not keep a journal. You may not share whatever record you keep with those you love and serve. But you and they will be blessed as you remember what the Lord has done. ... Living as we do with a veil over our eyes, we cannot remember what it was like to be with our Heavenly Father and his beloved son, Jesus Christ, in the premortal world; nor can we, with our physical eyes or with reason alone, see the hand of God in our lives. Seeing such things takes the Holy Ghost."

Forgetting God has been a persistent problem for humankind. Especially those who are abundantly blessed may forget the source of those blessings. "It is easy to begin to feel the blessings were granted not by a loving God on whom we depend but by our own power."

"It can also be hard to remember him when our lives go badly." In trials, some question that there is a loving Father, making it difficult for the Holy Ghost to minister. All men have the Spirit of Christ, if not the Holy Ghost, to help them remember the goodness of God.
