Throughout time there have been many who believe that God, our Heavenly Father, has done His work on the Earth, that He has revealed all that He plans to reveal to His children, or that He set things in motion and now watches history unfold from the remote heavens. Similarly, there have been many in the past who believed that mankind has learned all that there is to learn about the cosmos, that what remains for us to discover are mere details, and that there is little benefit in seeking to expand our knowledge.

With the last century of discoveries about the universe, and how immense it is, many question that if God exists, why should He care at all about us? The universe is too large, and we are too small to matter, so what difference does it make how we live and what we do? Many abandon their beliefs and turn to the small causes of man to find some greater meaning in their lives. But, the Lord has revealed through His prophets that our eternal improvement is the great purpose of His work.

In moments of introspection, many have questioned their place in the universe. With all the people who have lived on the Earth, does God really care about me? Does He know who I am? What my struggles are? And what hopes and dreams I might have? If so, how can I know this to be true? As a young boy of fourteen, Joseph Smith asked similar questions. He sought Heavenly Father in prayer and received an answer that applies to us all, as ancient and modern prophets have testified.
