The Lord has sent prophets in our own day.
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7).
Many people live in darkness, unsure of God's will. They believe that the heavens are closed and that people must face the world's perils alone. How fortunate are the Latter-day Saints! We know that God communicates to the Church through his prophet. With grateful hearts, Saints the world over sing the hymn, "We thank thee, O God, for a prophet to guide us in these latter days."
