After all, they were dressed in lamb-skins dyed with blood, had head plates on their shaved heads, and looked terrible. A huge, ferocious army was rushing towards them, but they remembered their faith and did not fear. Instead they prayed and were answered with blessings from the Lord. When our own troubles seem to surround us from every side, we can likewise combat them as we remember our faith and turn towards God. One of the best ways I've found to feel peace is to worthily enter the temple.
Temples strengthen our spirits and are places of refuge and peace.
This is why Latter-day Saints are committed to building temples. In fact, we hope to have 100 temples in operation by the year 2000. With so many new temples announced or under construction, chances are pretty good that you are fairly close to one of them. After they are completed, everyone is invited to tour them before they are dedicated as special places of worship. Even temples which have not been dedicated can help visitors feel inner peace as they see its simple beauty and contemplate their relationship with God.
