Adversity
"To those who stagger or stumble, he is there to steady and strengthen us. In the end he is there to save us, and for all this he gave his life. However dim our days may seem they have been darker for the Savior of the world."
—Jeffrey R. Holland, "This Do in Remembrance of Me", Ensign and Liahona, November 1995
Topics: Jesus Christ, Adversity"When you take the path that climbs, that harder path of the Savior, there are rewards along the way. When you do something right, when you resist temptation, when you meet a goal, you will feel very good about it. It is a very different kind of feeling than you have when you violate commandments--an altogether different feeling. It brings a measure of peace and comfort and provides encouragement to press on."
—Richard G. Scott, "Finding the Way Back", Liahona and Ensign, May 1990
Topics: Adversity, Temptation, Jesus Christ, Obedience"How do we, amidst the challenges of our lives, gain the vision necessary to do those things that will bring us closer to the Savior? Speaking of vision, the book of Proverbs teaches this truth: 'Where there is no vision, the people perish' (Proverbs 29:18). If we are to prosper rather than perish, we must gain a vision of ourselves as the Savior sees us."
—Elder O. Vincent Haleck, "Having the Vision to Do", General Conference, Apr. 2012
