It's better to look up

“I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those prayers down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives.”

Peter Kreeft

“God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as he always has. But he can't if you don't pray, and he can't if you don't dream. In short, he can't if you don't believe.”

Jeffrey R. Holland

“We need strength beyond ourselves to keep the commandments in whatever circumstance life brings to us… the combination of trials and their duration are as varied as are the children of our Heavenly Father.  No two are alike. But what is being tested is the same, at all times in our lives and for every person will we do whatsoever the Lord our God will command us?”

Henry B. Eyring

There are times when we have to step into the darkness in faith,

confident that God will place solid ground beneath our feet once we do.
