Messages From the Relief Society General Presidency
The Relief Society General Presidency has shared their desire that sisters everywhere will accept the Savior’s invitation to come unto Him and find relief. President Johnson offered the following reminder: “There is healing and strength when sisters gather together. In these moments, the Savior allows us to feel His love through one another.”
Their preparation for this broadcast has been guided by a deep awareness of the needs of sisters everywhere. “The Savior knows your heart and your circumstances,” President Johnson said. “We have felt His love for each of you.”
Sister Dennis emphasized the unity and encouragement found in Relief Society: “The Lord is with us as we turn to Him. He asks us to support each other, and we look forward to being together as sisters to feel His love and to cheer each other on.”
Additional Video Resources
In addition to the devotional, several brief discussion videos (2-4 minutes each) featuring members of the Relief Society General Advisory Council will be released on March 8. Local Relief Society presidencies are invited to prayerfully consider how to incorporate these additional videos in ways that bless and support the sisters they serve.
“We are all sisters in the Lord’s work,” said Sister Yee. “Each of us is learning and growing through His grace. We hope this broadcast and additional resources help you to feel His love and grow together.”
Topics addressed in the discussion videos include:
- Finding strength and relief in Jesus Christ.
- Managing competing priorities.
- Building emotional resilience.
- Staying committed when facing offense, hurt or misfortune.
- Discovering the divine design in my family.
Discussion videos can be viewed at the same time as the broadcast or throughout the year for counseling in Sunday Relief Society meetings, women’s conferences, Relief Society activities and gatherings and individual study.
