Walking in Faith:

Youth Bear Witness of the Lord’s Goodness

In the First Presidency Message in this issue of the Liahona, President Gordon B. Hinckley asks us to “live close to the Lord and walk in faith with Him, and … bear witness and testimony of His goodness to each of us” (“Life’s Obligations,” Liahona, May 1999, 7).

On the following pages, some of our youth readers share testimonies they have gained and experiences they have had in living close to the Lord and walking in faith—and thank Him for having been blessed by doing so.
