Throughout my life I have run into various difficulties from time to time. During these times I have been reading my scriptures or have had a verse of scriptures come to mind that would comfort me. Elder D. Todd Christopherson identified 3 ways that the scriptures bless our lives, 1) they enlarge our memory; 2) the scriptures help us to distinguish truth from error; and 3) the scriptures bring us to Christ. (The Blessing of Scripture)

The scriptures enlarge our memory by helping us to remember the promises of God for his children. One of the purposes of the Book of Mormon is to remind them of his covenant's with them. The scriptures also help us to remember what was done to previous generations and to help us to learn what good things that God did for them. Elder Christopherson pointed out that "The other group that “came out from Jerusalem” shortly after Lehi had no scriptures, and when Lehi’s descendants encountered them some 300 or 400 years later, it is recorded that “their language had become corrupted; … and they denied the being of their Creator” (Omni 1:15, 17)."

The scriptures also help us discern truth  from error. When he encountered false statements Christ countered with scripture. (See: Matthew 4) Another example given by Elder Christopherson is

 "The scriptures, for example, discredit an ancient philosophy that has come back into vogue in our day—the philosophy of Korihor that there are no absolute moral standards, that “every man prosper[s] according to his genius, and that every man conquer[s] according to his strength; and whatsoever a man [does is] no crime” and “that when a man [is] dead, that [is] the end thereof” (Alma 30:17–18)... Others would argue that it’s all relative or that God’s love is permissive. If there is a God, they say, He excuses all sins and misdeeds because of His love for us—there is no need for repentance. Or at most, a simple confession will do. They have imagined a Jesus who wants people to work for social justice but who makes no demands upon their personal life and behavior. But a God of love does not leave us to learn by sad experience that “wickedness never was happiness” (Alma 41:10; see also Helaman 13:38)."

Finally, the scriptures bring us to Christ. Jacob testified "Behold, I say unto you that none of the prophets have written, nor prophesied, save they have spoken concerning this Christ." (Jacob 7:11) Elder Christopherson stated "Because they expound the doctrine of Christ, the scriptures are accompanied by the Holy Spirit, whose role it is to bear witness of the Father and the Son" The scriptures help us to feel closer to Christ. Spencer W. Kimball said, "I find that when I get casual in my relationships with divinity and when it seems that no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking, that I am far, far away. If I immerse myself in the scriptures the distance narrows and the spirituality returns." (Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball)

I know that if we read the scriptures daily we can feel closer to God and our lives will be blessed.
