Effort! It’s a word President Nelson emphasizes often. He not only talks about it but has demonstrated it throughout his life—reminding us that the Lord loves effort. So much in our lives has become easy and instantaneous. But becoming converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ isn’t easy or instantaneous. It requires small, daily genuine efforts.

 

"You can’t have 100 priorities. You have to bring it down to balance."

 

As Becky Craven, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency says, it requires us to do something. Not everything. And certainly not everything perfectly! Rebecca Craven and Kathryn discuss how they find what matters most.

 

Top takeaways from this episode:

• We can't let the fear of perfectionism prevent us from progression. The Lord loves effort!
• If we pray to know how to prioritize our lives, the Holy Ghost will help us to know.
• Sometimes we just need to unclutter. Even some of the good.
• What matters most is following the Savior Jesus Christ.

Small and simple challenge: In our daily prayers, ask Heavenly Father to direct us in what we can do that matters most.
