  Were given to my mind.

  Sheds on afflicted minds the balm of comfort,
  Relieves the load of poverty, sustains
  The captive, bending with the weight of bonds,
  And smooths the pillow of disease and pain.

• So we see, brethren and sisters that the words of Christ can be a personal Liahona for each of us, showing us the way. Let us now be slothful because of the easiness of the way. Let us in faith take the words of Christ into our minds and into our hearts as they are recorded in sacred scripture and as they are uttered by living prophets, seers, and revelators. Let us with faith and diligence feast upon the words of Christ, for the words of Christ will be our spiritual Liahona telling us all things what we should do.

They're your army of personal walking ambassadors.
