How thankful I am for the restoration of the gospel! Because of the Restoration, the priesthood—the power and authority of God—is once more on the earth. That power sustains me in every need and mood of my life. It also offers me the ordinances, the blessings, and the teachings of truth that give meaning to all I care about now and to all I hope for in the future.
