No Other Way

Submitting our will—completely giving our heart and mind to God—is not easy. But I am comfortable with, and comforted by, the "great plan of happiness" (Alma 42:8). There is no other way. I would not want another way. I testify of Him whose plan it is, God the Eternal Father, and of Him who is central to the plan, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. I bear witness of apostles and prophets, whose counsel I gladly follow. With all my heart and mind I testify of these truths.

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" (Matthew 22:36–37).
