“With God’s help we can change from women and men driven by carnal desires and selfish concerns to holy women and holy men prepared to enter the kingdom of God. We change little by little by making and keeping priesthood covenants.”

-Ruth Renlund

Ruth Renlund is the spouse of Elder Dale Renlund. This quote is taken from a BYU Devotional she presented on 3 December 2019, titled “The Power to Change.”

What is a Priesthood Covenant? We receive the holy priesthood by an “oath and covenant.” This means that our Heavenly Parents promise that we can have the power and blessing of the priesthood if we covenant with Them to magnify our callings, be faithful in keeping the commandments, and live by every prompting and direction that we receive from Them.
