Some things to think about from “4 Principles We Can Learn From the Way the Presiding Bishopric Works” by Sydney Walker
“Bishop L. Todd Budge, Second Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric, [stated]: ‘What I’ve found in my own life is that I can pray over my temporal affairs….I can pray over my finances. I can pray over whether to buy this house or that house or whether to make this investment or that investment. We should involve the Lord in not only the spiritual part of our life but in the temporal things in our life as well because all of these things contribute to our ability to love and serve other people.’”
“Each humanitarian project the Church is involved in has a goal of self-reliance, [Bishop Causse’] said. “For us self-reliance is a principle of salvation. It’s a spiritual principle.”
