“Do not yield to Satan’s enticements; rather, stand firm for truth. The unsatisfied yearnings of the soul will not be met by a never-ending quest for joy amidst the thrills of sensation and vice. Vice never leads to virtue. Hate never promotes love. Cowardice never gives courage. Doubt never inspires faith.”
Thomas S. Monson
We cannot expect to learn endurance in our later years if we have developed the habit of quitting when things get difficult now.
“Behold, We Count Them Happy Which Endure”
There is nothing that we are enduring that Jesus does not understand, and He waits for us to go to our Heavenly Father in prayer. I testify that if we will be obedient and if we are diligent, our prayers will be answered, our problems will diminish, our fears will dissipate, light will come upon us, the darkness of despair will be dispersed, and we will be close to the Lord and feel of His love and of the comfort of the Holy Ghost. It is my prayer that we can find the faith, courage, and strength to endure to the end so that we may feel the joy of faithfully returning to the arms of our Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Robert D. Hales
“Please, shun darkness and, like trees, always seek to grow toward the light.”
Marlin K. Jensen
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
If it’s still on your mind, it’s still in your heart.
God believes in you, and it's about time you believe in yourself.
“… Faith is a choice, and it must be sought after and developed. Thus, we are responsible for our own faith. We are also responsible for our lack of faith. The choice is yours.”
Richard C. Edgley
“In the geometry of restored theology, hope has a greater circumference than faith. If faith increases, the perimeter of hope stretches correspondingly.”
Neal A. Maxwell
“With God’s help, good cheer permits us to rise above the depressing present or difficult circumstances. …
It is sunshine when clouds block the light”
Marvin J. Aston
Be Happy, Be Bright, Be You.
“The Lord looks upon the light we have received, the desires of our hearts, and our actions, and when we repent and seek His forgiveness, He forgives. As we consider our own lives and the lives of our loved ones and acquaintances, we should be equally willing to forgive ourselves and others.”
Craig A. Cardon
Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes sees is darkness.
