The Holy Temple

Boyd K, Packer said, “When members of the Church are troubled or when crucial decisions
weigh heavily upon their minds, it is a common thing for them to go to the temple. It is a good place
to take our cares. In the temple we can receive spiritual perspective. There, during the time of the
temple service, we are ‘out of the world. Sometimes our minds are so beset with problems, and there
are so many things clamoring for attention at once that we just cannot think clearly and see clearly.
At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can
‘see’ things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not
previously known. The Lord will bless us as we attend to the sacred ordinance work of the temples.
Blessings there will not be limited to our temple service. We will be blessed in all of our affairs” (“The
Holy Temple,” Ensign, Feb. 1995)
