Faith

“We can choose to turn to the Savior today for the strength and healing that will enable us to fulfill all that we were sent here to do.” (Susan H. Porter, Primary General Presidency, “Lessons at the Well,” General Conference, April 2022)

“Waves of fear can distract us, causing us to forget God’s goodness, thus leaving our perspective short-sighted and out of focus. Yet it is in these rough stretches of our journey that our faith can be not only tried but fortified.” (Lisa L. Harkness, Primary General Presidency, “Peace, Be Still” General Conference, October 2020)

“Regardless of our circumstances, we can intentionally make efforts to build and increase our faith in Jesus Christ. It is strengthened when we remember that we are children of God and that He loves us. Our faith grows as we experiment on the word of God with hope and diligence, trying our very best to follow Christ’s teachings. Our faith increases as we choose to believe rather than doubt, forgive rather than judge, repent rather than rebel. Our faith is refined as we patiently rely on the merits and mercy and grace of the Holy Messiah.” (Lisa L. Harkness, Primary General Presidency, “Peace, Be Still” General Conference, October 2020)

“Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is gritty and resilient. It helps us sift through unimportant distractions. It encourages us to keep moving along the covenant path. Faith pushes through discouragement and allows us to face the future with resolve and squared shoulders. It prompts us to ask for rescue and relief as we pray to the Father in the name of His Son. And when prayerful pleas seem to go unanswered, our persistent faith in Jesus Christ produces patience, humility, and the ability to reverently utter the words ‘Thy will be done.’” (Lisa L. Harkness, Primary General Presidency, “Peace, Be Still” General Conference, October 2020)

“Each of us needs to be better at articulating the reasons for our faith. How do you feel about Jesus Christ? Why do you stay in the Church? Why do you believe the Book of Mormon is scripture? Where do you get your peace? Why does it matter that the prophet has something to say in 2017? How do you know he is a real prophet? Use your voice and your power to articulate what you know and feel–on social media, in quiet conversations with your friends, when you’re chatting with your grandchildren.” (Sharon Eubank, Relief Society General Presidency, “Turn On Your Light,” General Conference, October 2017)

Esplin, Primary General Presidency, “Filling Our Homes with Light and Truth,” General Conference, April 2015)
