Feeling peaceful

well, I've finally settled down in my soul and feeling at peace about the talk!  At this point...I'm familiar with it!  I re-read it looking for mentioned things that I can do and made this list...

continue to be worthy of admission go His holy house...keep myself unspotted from the world...individual commitment...help prepare the world...strengthen my faith...resilient faith...remember divine nature...reserved for this time...standard bearer...covenant person...increase understanding of Church doctrine...relentlessly seeking truth...anchored in pure doctrine...pray for courage...follow Jesus Christ...increasing precision in keeping covenants...defend the Church...be a builder of faith--individually-in Christ-in His Church-in our family...prepare for my own divine destiny.

....and then I looked for .........

Promises-

Spiritual security will always depend upon how one lives, not where one lives. I promise that if we will do our best to exercise faith in Jesus Christ and access the power of His Atonement through repentance, we will have the knowledge and power of God to help us take the blessings of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord.

You will have days when you will be discouraged. So pray for courage not to give up! Sadly, some whom you thought were your friends will betray you. And some things will simply seem unfair.

However, I promise you that as you follow Jesus Christ, you will find sustained peace and true joy. As you keep your covenants with increasing precision, and as you defend the Church and kingdom of God on the earth today, the Lord will bless you with strength and wisdom to accomplish what only members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can accomplish.

I keep referring to it as the talk  -  actually it's an Ensign article  here

Then I read the following and enjoyed every word...

March 28th. Elder Holland spoke to the Church News here 

I drew strength and increased peace from all of it but especially this.... 

“The Spirit is not blocked by a virus or by national boundaries or by medical forecasts.” There are “gifts from heaven that are not limited by trouble in the land or illness in the air. …

“He who created this marvelous world in which we live can say to any of the elements in it: ‘This far and no farther.’ That is what He will say to this blight we are facing. In the presence of His majesty, even subatomic-sized creations must bend—if only figuratively—and each in its own way ‘confess’ that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the great Redeemer of all. Under the direction of His Father, the Savior is in charge of the destiny of this world. We are in very sure and loving hands.”
