"God has not abandoned us to get through this life alone..." Modern Prophets?

As I was reading My cousin, Audrey's blog I came across this... 

   

 "You may or may not have noticed that we also believe in latter day prophets and apostles.  If apostles and prophets were important in ancient times, then dare I say, we certainly need them now.  This world is in chaos and we are most certainly in need of prophets who commune with God and direct us.  God has not abandoned us to get through this life alone, He has given us so much direction and so many tools to get through this life, and the apostles and prophets are some of the most important of these tools along with the scriptures, we'd be remiss not to use all that our Heavenly Father has provided for us.

     It's interesting when people say that "all we need is in the Bible", and yet others say "the Bible is an old irrelevant book".  In truth, both are sides are wrong. We need prophets and apostles now to help us navigate this modern world of discord and confusion, but we also need the word of God from long ago.  Many of the words of God were given to us once, we shouldn't disregard them and hope that they will somehow change, because it won't, the Bible is still very relevant, and so are prophets and apostles for modern day revelation." 

 

I LOVE how she says "God has not abandoned us to get through this life alone, He has given us so much direction and so many tools to get through this life"

President Thomas S. Monson

I love this man! If you were to sit down and listen to what he has to say you would KNOW what he has to tell you is true. I believe he is called from God to help lead us in the right direction.
