“Paradoxically, in order to have a healed and faithful heart, we must first allow it to break before the Lord.” (Neill F. Marriott, Young Women General Presidency, “Yielding Our Hearts to God,” General Conference, October 2015)

“What can we give to Him, who paid the incalculable price for our sins? We can give Him change. We can give Him our change. It may be a change of thought, a change in habit, or a change in the direction we are headed. In return for His priceless payment for each of us, the Lord asks us for a change of heart.” (Becky Craven, Young Women General Presidency, “Keep the Change,” General Conference, October 2020)

“Jesus Christ has given us a continuous pattern for change. He invites us to exercise faith in Him, which inspires us to repent—’which faith and repentance bringeth a change of heart.’ As we repent and turn our hearts to Him, we gain a greater desire to make and live sacred covenants. We endure to the end by continuing to apply these principles throughout our lives and inviting the Lord to change us. Enduring to the end means changing to the end.” (Becky Craven, Young Women General Presidency, “Keep the Change,” General Conference, October 2020)

“Through Jesus Christ, we are given the strength to make lasting changes. As we humbly turn to Him, He will increase our capacity to change.” (Becky Craven, Young Women General Presidency, “Keep the Change,” General Conference, October 2020)

“I love hiking in the mountains near my home. Often, I get a little rock in my shoe as I walk along the trail. Eventually, I stop and shake out my shoe. But it astounds me how long I allow myself to hike in pain before I stop and rid myself of the irritant. As we travel the covenant path, sometimes we pick up stones in our shoes in the form of poor habits, sins, or bad attitudes. The quicker we shake them from our lives, the more joyful our mortal journey will be.” (Becky Craven, Young Women General Presidency, “Keep the Change,” General Conference, October 2020)

“Because of Jesus Christ, we can change. We can adjust our habits, alter our thoughts, and refine our character to become more like Him. And with His help, we can keep the change.” (Becky Craven, Young Women General Presidency, “Keep the Change,” General Conference, October 2020)

“If we earnestly appeal to God, He takes us as we are–and makes us more than we ever imagined.” (Neill F. Marriott, Young Women General Presidency, “Yielding Our Hearts to God,” General Conference, October 2015)

Marriott, Young Women General Presidency, “Yielding Our Hearts to God,” General Conference, October 2015)

“Regardless of our age, if what we look at, read, listen to, or choose to do does not meet the Lord’s standards in For the Strength of Youth, turn it off, rip it up, throw it out, and slam the door.” (Linda S. Reeves, Relief Society General Presidency, “Worthy of Our Promised Blessings,” General Conference, October 2015)

“We must take care that the media we invite into our homes does not dull the sensitivity to the Spirit, harm relationships with our family and friends, or reveal personal priorities that are inconsistent with gospel principles.” (Mary N. Cook, Young Women General Presidency, “Be an Example of the Believers,” General Conference, October 2010)

“Spending long periods of time using the Internet, social media, and cell phones; playing video games; or watching television keeps us from productive activities and valuable interactions with others.” (Mary N. Cook, Young Women General Presidency, “Be an Example of the Believers,” General Conference, October 2010)

“Despite popular media messages to the contrary, no one is rich enough, beautiful enough, or clever enough to avoid a mortal experience.” (Julie B. Beck, Relief Society General President, “And upon the Handmaids in Those Days Will I Pour Out My Spirit,” General Conference, April 2010)

“We should avoid inappropriate material on the Internet and on cell phones, as well as offensive music and suggestive dancing. You may be mocked, you may have fingers pointed at you, you may have to stand alone, but please have the courage to withstand these temptations.” (Mary N. Cook, Young Women General Presidency, “A Virtuous Life—Step by Step,” General Conference, April 2009)

“There are also great blessings and protecting promises associated with the proper wearing of our temple garment. I have come to feel that I am symbolically putting on royal robes given me by my Heavenly Father.

Reeves, Relief Society General Presidency, “Worthy of Our Promised Blessings,” General Conference, October 2015)

As we keep them clean and pure, we can be worthy to help our Heavenly Father create bodies for His beloved spirit children.” (Linda S. Reeves, Relief Society General Presidency, “Worthy of Our Promised Blessings,” General Conference, October 2015)

“As a covenant people we have the responsibility to care for, protect, and properly clothe our bodies. We must help our children and youth understand that we respect our bodies as temples and as gifts from God. We set the example by refusing to purchase or wear immodest clothing that is too tight, too sheer, or revealing in any other manner.” (Mary N. Cook, Young Women General Presidency, “Be an Example of the Believers,” General Conference, October 2010)

“The precious gift of your body enables you to exercise your agency and put your faith and obedience into action. Have you ever noticed that nearly all of Satan’s attacks are directed at your body?

Dalton, Young Women General President, “At All Times, in All Things, and in All Places,” General Conference, April 2008)

“The body is a gift to be treated with gratitude and respect.” (Susan W. Tanner, Young Women General President, “The Sanctity of the Body,” General Conference, October 2005)

“What would happen if we truly treated our bodies as temples? The result would be a dramatic increase in chastity, modesty, observance of the Word of Wisdom, and a similar decrease in the problems of pornography and abuse, for we would regard the body, like the temple, as a sacred sanctuary of the Spirit. Just as no unclean thing may enter the temple, we would be vigilant to keep impurity of any sort from entering the temple of our bodies. Likewise, we would keep the outside of our bodily temples looking clean and beautiful to reflect the sacred and holy nature of what is inside, just as the Church does with its temples. We should dress and act in ways that reflect the sacred spirit inside us.” (Susan W. Tanner, Young Women General President, “The Sanctity of the Body,” General Conference, October 2005)

“When we become other-oriented, or selfless, we develop an inner beauty of spirit that glows in our outward appearance.” (Susan W. Tanner, Young Women General President, “The Sanctity of the Body,” General Conference, October 2005)

“Our promise to always remember the Savior gives us strength to stand for truth and righteousness—whether we are in a large crowd or in our solitary places, where no one knows our actions except for God. When we remember Him and His name we bear, we have no place for self-degrading comparisons or overbearing judgments.” (Lisa L. Harkness, Primary General Presidency, “Honoring His Name,” General Conference, October 2019)

“Aaronic Priesthood holders represent the Savior when they prepare, bless, and pass the sacrament. As a priesthood holder extends his arm to offer us the sacred emblems, it is as if the Savior Himself were extending His arm of mercy, inviting each one of us to partake of the precious gifts of love made available through His atoning sacrifice–gifts of repentance, forgiveness, comfort, and hope.” (Cheryl A. Esplin, Primary General Presidency, “The Sacrament—A Renewal for the Soul,” General Conference, October 2014)

“Every time you worthily partake of the sacrament, you have the opportunity to begin again and do a little better. It is like burying the old, unworthy part of yourself and starting over with a new life.” (Julie B. Beck, Young Women General Presidency, “There Is Hope Smiling Brightly before Us,” General Conference, April 2003)

“We come to this earth to nurture and discover the seeds of divine nature that are within us.” (Rosemary M. Wixom, Primary General President, “Discovering the Divinity Within,” General Conference, October 2015)

“We all need to seek to have our hearts and very natures changed so that we no longer have a desire to follow the ways of the world but to please God.” (Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women General President, “Do I Believe?” General Conference, April 2016)

“True conversion is a process that takes place over a period of time and involves a willingness to exercise faith. It comes when we search the scriptures instead of the Internet. It comes when we are obedient to the commandments of God. Conversion comes when we serve those around us. It comes from earnest prayer, regular temple attendance, and faithful fulfillment of our God-given responsibilities. It takes consistency and daily effort.” (Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women General President, “Do I Believe?” General Conference, April 2016)

Oscarson, Young Women General President, “Be Ye Converted,” General Conference, October 2013)

Dibb, Young Women General Presidency, “I Know It. I Live It. I Love It.” General Conference, October 2012)

“There is only one way to become personally converted. It is through a witness of the Spirit as we study these very scriptures that testify of Jesus Christ. It comes as we pray and as we fast.

Aburto, Relief Society General Presidency, “We Are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” General Conference, April 2022)

Aburto, Relief Society General Presidency, “We Are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” General Conference, April 2022)

“We believe that this Church is more than just a good place to go on Sundays and learn how to be a good person. It is more than just a lovely Christian social club where we can associate with people of good moral standing. It is not just a great set of ideas that parents can teach their children at home so they will be responsible, nice people. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is infinitely more than all of these things.” (Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women General President, “Do I Believe?” General Conference, April 2016)

Marriott, Young Women General Presidency, “What Shall We Do?” General Conference, April 2016)

“The way to receive personal revelation is really quite clear. We need to desire to receive revelation, we must not harden our hearts, and then we need to ask in faith, truly believe that we will receive an answer, and then diligently keep the commandments of God. Following this pattern does not mean that every time we ask a question of God, the answer will immediately appear with every detail of what to do. However, it does mean that if we diligently keep the commandments and ask in faith, answers will come in the Lord’s own way and in His time.” (Barbara Thompson, Relief Society General Presidency, “Personal Revelation and Testimony,” General Conference, October 2011)

“Most often personal revelation will come as we study the scriptures, listen to and follow the counsel of prophets and other Church leaders, and seek to live faithful, righteous lives.” (Barbara Thompson, Relief Society General Presidency, “Personal Revelation and Testimony,” General Conference, October 2011)
