Our happiness and blessings from God are determined by our willingness to hearken to the words of our prophets. “Follow the Brethren. Three words. There is nothing in your life that will destroy you if you will follow the Brethren. Even if it were all brought together and focused on you, there is not enough evil in the world to destroy you unless you consent to it” (Boyd K. Packer, Things of the Soul [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1996], 80).
