Looking Heavenward

"Looking heavenward is a lifelong endeavor... You are of a noble birthright. Eternal life is your goal. This is not achieved in one glorious attempt, but from a lifetime of righteousness, an accumulation of wise choices, even a constancy of purpose and lofty ideals."  
Thomas S. Monson

"When we understand the character of God, and know how to come to Him, he begins to unfold the heavens to us, and to tell us all about it.
When we are ready to come to him, he is ready to come to us."  
Joseph Smith 

 "One of the greatest blessings of being able to pray to our Father in Heaven is that He is never too busy to hear our petition. No request is so great that He cannot handle it, or so small that He dismisses it as being insignificant. He hears and answers all of our prayers. He may not answer our prayers when we expect an answer, but His answers are always right on time, and in accordance with His perfect will."
