I invite you to read the Book of Mormon between now and the end of the year. As impossible as that may seem with all you are trying to manage in your life, if you will accept this invitation with full purpose of heart, the Lord will help you find a way to achieve it. And, as you prayerfully study, I promise that the heavens will open for you. The Lord will bless you with increased inspiration and revelation. - President Russell M. Nelson
This week, I began to take this invitation to heart. Despite finding that the thing I most often sacrifice to do this (and other things our living prophet has counseled us to do) is sleep, and despite the fact that it's the beginning of week two and I'm already behind (based on my rough calculation of chapters-per-week that I need to read to finish in time), I have felt more power and strength and capacity than I typically have when I sacrifice sleep for more trivial things.
So tonight, as I am up later than usual (again) because I wanted to do something important for someone I love, I am grateful for grace and miracles and the peace the gospel of Jesus Christ brings into my life.
