An 18-Year-Old Prayed for a Name — and Woke at 5 AM With the Answer | LDS

Send us Fan MailCan an 18-year-old really pray for the name of an ancestor who needs their temple work — and receive it? In this episode of Thinning of the Veil, host Tia Smith sits down with Chloe, a Latter-day Saint (LDS) freshman at Utah State, who took a simple invitation to heart and had a tender, unmistakable answer to prayer.After hearing Tia teach about asking the Lord who needs help on the other side of the veil — and watching a video of Elder (now President) Jeffrey R. Holland teach that everyone can receive personal revelation — Chloe knelt that night and asked, if it be God's will, to know the name of someone who needed their work done. About five hours later she woke wide awake at 5:16 a.m. with a name in her mind. She wrote it down (just as she'd been counseled not to forget), and the next morning found one relative by that name whose ordinances were waiting. Since then, revelation has continued to come — more names, and even scripture references dropped into her mind as answers to prayer and direction for her life, including guidance about an upcoming trip and her mission.Chloe and Tia talk about how these experiences deepened Chloe's faith into knowledge, why taking a name to the temple brings a new sense of urgency, and how her friend Grace's experience shifted once her prayer became sincere. It's a witness that this work isn't limited by age — a theme drawn from Doctrine and Covenants 128 and the promise that knowledge would be poured out "out of the mouth of babes." As Chloe prepares to receive her mission call, she shares how learning to hear the Lord now is preparing her to gather Israel on both sides of the veil.Q: Can young people receive revelation for their ancestors? (LDS)A: Chloe's testimony is yes — at 18, she prayed to know who needed help on the other side of the veil and woke with a name that led to a relative whose temple work was waiting. She teaches it doesn't matter your age; you just need faith to ask.Q: How does revelation come?A: Chloe shares that answers have come in different ways — a name while she slept, names while awake, and scripture references (like Mosiah 4) dropped into her mind as answers to prayer and direction for her life.Q: Why does going to the temple matter so much to her?A: Chloe encourages going as often as you can — even alone — describing the temple as being out of the storm and in the light, a source of peace and protection that strengthens her for the week.Out of the mouth of babes — the rising generation is receiving revelation and gathering Israel on both sides of the veil.▶️ WATCH & LISTEN🎬 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thinningoftheveil🌐 Website: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinning-of-the-veil/id1753511394🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jWCfMHkZXwnSwy2b98J4M🎵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a0a45561-d4c2-46d3-af8d-a1e967a21a25📖 BOOKPatterns of Revelation — Spiritual Foundations for Hearing God's Voice: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW36MG9B📱 CONNECTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veilFacebook Group (Gathering of the Gatherers): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1429562078443774Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thinningoftheveil💛 SUPPORT THE SHOWVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/thinningoftheveilPayPal: https://paypal.me/thinningoftheveil✉️ Have you had a thinning of the veil experience?
