“The restored gospel not only teaches us why we must be tested, but it makes clear to us what the test is. The Prophet Joseph Smith gave us an explanation. By revelation, he was able to record words spoken at the Creation of the world. They are about us, those of the spirit children of our Heavenly Father who would come into mortality. Here are the words:  ‘And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them.’ [Abr. 3:25.]  That explanation helps us understand why we face trials in life. They give us the opportunity to prove ourselves faithful to God.”  Henry B. Eyring, Liahona, May 2004, 16–19

“If we lift one weary hand which hangs down, if we bring peace to one struggling soul, if we give as did the Master, we can—by showing the way—become a guiding star for some lost mariner.”

Thomas S. Monson, Liahona, Jan 2002, 68–71

“Paul wisely taught, ‘Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.’  [Rom. 12:21]”

Richard G. Scott, Liahona, May 2004, 100–102

“Our object is to get and cleave to everything that is good, and to reject everything
that is bad. One reason why religious people in the world are opposed to music
and theatres is because of the corruption that is mixed up with them. Wicked and
corrupt men associate themselves with these things, and degrade them; but is this
any reason that the Saints should not enjoy the gifts of God? Is that a correct
principle? Certainly not. It is for them to grasp at everything that is good, and
calculated to promote the happiness of the human family. …”

“As we pursue our secular studies, let us also add to our lives the cultivation of the
Spirit. If we do so, God will bless us with that peace and those blessings which
come from him alone.”

Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Aug 1988, 2–5

“Calamities and troubles are increasing in the earth, and there is a meaning to these things. Remember this, and reflect upon these matters. If you do your duty, and I do my duty, we’ll have protection, and shall pass through the afflictions in peace and in safety.”

Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff, 217

“[A] simple thing to do, which allows God to give us strength, is to feast on the word of God: read and ponder the standard works of the Church and the words of living prophets. There is a promise of help from God that comes with that daily practice. Faithful study of scriptures brings the Holy Ghost to us.”

“God says to the fruit tree, ‘Bloom and bear,’ and to the human heart, ‘Bear and bloom.’”

Reed Smoot, Ensign, Oct 1972, 16

“Our labor for our ancestors is part of the divine plan of our Heavenly Father. It is a
momentous assignment given to His Church, which we will complete because He
has ordained it.”

David B. Haight, Ensign, May 1993, 23

“…The restored gospel makes plain the simple things we need to do [to allow God
to give us strength]. And it gives us confidence that the help we need will come if
we do those things early and persistently, long before the moment of crisis.  The
first, the middle, and the last thing to do is to pray.”
