"We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet"

 

"We thank thee, O God, for a prophet

To guide us in these latter days.

We thank thee for sending the gospel

To lighten our minds with its rays.

We thank thee for every blessing

Bestowed by thy bounteous hand.

We feel it a pleasure to serve thee

And love to obey thy command."

 

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe "all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He yet will reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God" (9th Article of Faith). "We [also] believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church [Christ's Church that He established on the earth during biblical times]" (6th Article of Faith), and this includes prophets. Even today. And I have received a witness from the Holy Ghost that the president of our church truly is God's called prophet for this time. His name is Thomas S. Monson*; I have read, heard, and studied his words. I have even seen him speak live, and I know without a doubt that his words are inspired, that they were given to him through inspiration by God for us in our day.

Today is also our current prophet's birthday. Happy birthday, President Monson! May this next year of your life be filled with wonderful memories and blessings.
