Among the tens of thousands listening to this conference,
there are many degrees of personal worthiness
and righteousness.
Yet repentance is a blessing to all of us.
We each need to feel the Savior's arms of mercy
through the forgiveness of our sins.
Some listening today may need "a mighty change [of] heart"
to confront serious sins.
The help of a priesthood leader might be necessary.
For most, repenting is quiet and quite private,
daily seeking the Lord's help to make needed changes.
How do we decide where our repentance should be focused?
When a loved one or friend suggests
things we need to change, the natural man in us
sometimes pops up his head and responds, "Oh, you
think I should change?
Well, let me share with you some of your problems."
A better approach is to humbly petition the Lord:
"Father, what wouldst Thou have me do?"
The answers come.
We feel the changes we need to make.
The Lord tells us in our mind and in our heart.
