Sustaining
"What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same."
—Doctrine and Covenants 1:38, Doctrine and Covenants
Topics: Prophets, Sustaining"We can determine to pray daily for someone called by God to serve us. We can thank someone who has blessed us by his or her service. We can decide to step forward when someone we have sustained asks for volunteers. Those who uphold the Lord’s servants in His kingdom will be sustained by His matchless power. We all need that blessing."
—President Henry B. Eyring, "Called of God and Sustained by the People", Liahona and Ensign, June 2012
Topics: Sustaining"By our sustaining vote, we make solemn promises. We promise to pray for the Lord’s servants and that He will lead and strengthen them (see D&C 93:51). We pledge that we will look for and expect to feel inspiration from God in their counsel and whenever they act in their calling (see D&C 1:38)."
