Fortify faith through prayer
“God hears every prayer we offer and responds to each of them according to the path He has outlined for our perfection.” — President Jeffrey R. Holland
President Jeffrey R. Holland’s talk from April General Conference 2024 reminds us of the sacred and transformative nature of prayer: “My beloved friends, our prayers are our sweetest hour, our most ‘sincere desire,’ our simplest, purest form of worship.”
Yoked with Christ by Natalie Hunsaker
President Holland emphasized that prayer is not merely a ritual but a vital lifeline to God. He encouraged us to pray individually, with our families, and in congregations, using it as a shield against temptation and a means to draw closer to our Heavenly Father.
“Indeed, some efforts to keep us from praying come directly from the adversary,” he said. Even when we struggle with how or what to pray, he advised, we should persist until the Holy Spirit guides us.
Seeking Shiloah by Joseph Brickey
Incorporating artwork that celebrates the theme of prayer into your home will create a spiritually enriching atmosphere as you prepare for October General Conference. Art that depicts moments of sincere prayer or illustrates the Savior's example of frequent communication with God serves as powerful visual reminders of these teachings.
Forget Me Not by Annie Henrie Nader
Such pieces not only beautify your space but also reinforce the importance of making prayer a central part of your daily routine. By choosing LDS artwork that reflects the essence of heartfelt prayer and the Savior’s example, you can enhance your spiritual preparation and make your General Conference experience even more meaningful.

Let these images inspire and remind you of the divine connection that prayer fosters, and encourage you to deepen your own personal communication with God.
Always remember Him
Favor With God and Man by Brent Borup
“The profound questions of the soul, those that surface in our darkest hours and highest trials, are addressed through the unwavering love of Jesus Christ.” - Elder Jose L. Alonso
In his inspiring talk, Elder José L. Alonso reminded us of the profound effects of centering our lives on Jesus Christ.
He said, "As we strive to place Him at the center of our lives, revelations unfold to us, His profound peace envelops us, and His infinite Atonement brings about our forgiveness and healing. It is in Him that we discover the strength to overcome, the courage to persevere, and the peace that surpasses all understanding."
Artwork that reflects these themes serves as a daily reminder of the Savior’s role in our lives, especially as we prepare to receive counsel and guidance during General Conference. By surrounding ourselves with pieces that highlight Christ’s Atonement, His teachings, and His promises, we create a space that fosters spiritual growth and understanding.
Consider adding artwork that depicts moments of divine intervention, peace, and healing to your environment. These pieces will help focus your thoughts on the Savior's influence and prepare your heart to receive the messages delivered by Church leaders.
Hope of Innocence by Kelsy and Jesse Lightweave
Just as Elder Alonso encourages us to draw nearer to Christ, the right artwork can act as a beacon of hope and a source of inspiration, reinforcing the themes of General Conference and deepening our spiritual connection.
Honoring temple covenants
“There is nothing more important than honoring the covenants you have made or may make in the temple.” - President Henry B. Eyring
Orem Temple - Mountain Majesty by Mandy Jane Williams
President Henry B. Eyring’s April General Conference talk emphasized the power of frequent temple participation and the deep connection it fosters with the Lord. He taught, “Frequent participation in the ordinances of the temple can create a pattern of devotion to the Lord. When you keep your temple covenants and remember them, you invite the companionship of the Holy Ghost to both strengthen and purify you.”
Salt Lake Temple - In Autumn by Abigale Palmer
Artwork that reflects the sacredness of temple covenants and the associated feelings of light, hope, and divine promise can significantly enhance your General Conference experience. President Eyring highlighted that keeping our covenants invites the Holy Ghost's companionship, bringing a sense of purity and assurance of God’s ongoing support.
Boston Temple - Through the Trees by Scott Jarvie
He also noted the eternal nature of temple blessings: “We have been promised, ‘Because of our covenant with God, He will never tire in His efforts to help us, and we will never exhaust His merciful patience with us.’”
Bountiful Temple - Fall Atrium by Robert A Boyd
Incorporating temple-themed LDS artwork into your home can serve as a daily reminder of these sacred promises and the eternal connections they represent. Such artwork provides visual inspiration and reinforces the themes of devotion, family bonds, and divine assistance that are central to temple covenants.
Logan Temple - Autumn Evening by Evan Lurker
As you set the scene for General Conference, consider including pieces that celebrate the sealing covenants and the protective blessings they offer against the trials we may face.
