Over the past 25 years of my married life, I would go through cycles where I would read the scriptures each day and then through periods when I wouldn't get them read every day. If you are feeling overwhelmed and don't know how to change your life, I know if you will start with 5 minutes each day in the Book of Mormon, other things will start to fall into place. I have found these 2 promises to be especially true:
"Without reservation I promise you that if each of you will observe this simple program, regardless of how many times you previously may have read the Book of Mormon, 1) there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, 2) a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and 3) a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God." --President Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Aug. 2005
"There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. --President Ezra Taft Benson, “The Book of Mormon—Keystone of Our Religion,” Ensign, Nov. 1986
