Do you do a "one-word" type of challenge for the new year? Perhaps you should consider making "try" your word of 2023 as we focus in on what we can do to better grow closer to the Savior. Elder Holland, in a talk titled, "Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders among You," said that, "the great thing about the gospel is we get credit for trying, even if we don't always succeed." 

"The Lord recognizes our efforts, and He loves us trying."

Today's episode echoes that same sentiment from Elder Holland, and Kathryn and Katie Hughes (@thehugheshouse) discuss how we can involve the Lord in all our "tries" and use the Spirit as our guide to being better disciples.

Takeaways from this episode

• The Spirit can motivate us to make efforts.
• Everyone receives the Spirit differently, and not all our efforts look the same.
• It takes time to listen and feel the Lord working in our lives, but he wants us to try.
• Sometimes we are so hard on ourselves, but we are doing good! And we can be counted on.
• The Lord will magnify your efforts.

Small and simple invitation: Learn the language of the Spirit and how He speaks to you. Learn how the Spirit guides your life and listen to His teachings. Your desire will magnify your efforts.
