Truth, covenants, and ordinances enable us to overcome fear and face the future with faith!

We face our spiritual hurricanes best by believing in Christ and keeping His commandments.

We have to know by inspiration that the priesthood keys are held by those who lead and serve us. That requires the witness of the Spirit.

Go forward in faith in keeping your covenants with God and so claim the promise He has made to you with an oath.

Living the gospel … means that we will be prepared to face and endure adversity more confidently.

In a household of faith, there is no need to fear or doubt. Choose to live by faith and not fear.

Faith in Jesus Christ is a gift from heaven that comes as we choose to believe and as we seek it and hold on to it.

Remember that faith and obedience are still the answers—even when things go wrong, perhaps especially when things go wrong.

“Faith obedience” is a matter of trust. The question is simple: Do we trust our Heavenly Father? Do we trust our prophets?

When He reveals to us, speaking through our living prophet today, that we need to do more, … then we need to step forward and say, “Here am I; send me”!

True religion should not originate from what pleases men or the traditions of ancestors, but rather from what pleases God, our Eternal Father.

What we need is the faith of Brigham Young and the faith of Gordon B. Hinckley and the faith of people who are our prophets and leaders.

However dark conditions may seem in this world today, whatever the storms we are facing personally, … joy can be ours now.

Through prayer, scripture study, and action, we can unlock the blessings of heaven and become better followers of the Savior Jesus Christ.

Faith in Jesus Christ is the key to receiving revelations of truth.

Increased faith is what we most need. Without it, the work would stagnate. With it, no one can stop its progress.

I hope that we have grateful hearts for the knowledge that we have and the testimonies we have and for the feelings we have.

The growing prominence of the Church and the increasing inquiries from others present us with great opportunities to build bridges, make friends, and pass on accurate information.

You are striving to raise your children in righteousness and truth, knowing that while you cannot change the past, you can shape the future.

As we cultivate our faith, grow through service, and stay constant and true come what may, so we feel the Savior’s love.

Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism.

There is nothing that has come or will come into your family as important as the sealing blessings.

When parents are prepared and children listen and participate in the discussion, the family council is truly working!

When we gather our family histories and go to the temple on behalf of our ancestors, God fulfills promised blessings simultaneously on both sides of the veil.

Carole M. Stephens uses the words of a Primary song to teach about the role of the family—our earthly family and our heavenly family—in God’s plan.

Each of us has the potential to become like the Father. To do so, we must worship the Father in the name of the Son.

At the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ and its power to save is a correct understanding of the Father and the Son.

May we heed the voice of the prophets, who, from the beginning of time, have warned us about the importance of fathers in the home.

Larry M. Gibson teaches men of the Church about the central importance of their role as fathers, both now and in eternity.

I focus today on the good that men can do in the highest of masculine roles—husband and father.

Fathers and sons can play a critical role in helping each other become the best that they can be.

How do we react to our afflictions? Do we feel thankful because we are more focused on our blessings than on our problems?

The Lord tells us that when we stand with faith upon His rock, doubt and fear are diminished; the desire to do good increases.

Elder Holland teaches that we can have hope in difficult times because of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are not alone in this sacred trust of parenting, loving, and leading. There is no greater joy. It is worth every sacrifice.

As we develop greater faith and trust in the Lord, we can access His power to bless and deliver us.

Feasting upon the words of Christ can happen at any time and on any occasion if we prepare our hearts.

The Saints of God have always been under covenant to nourish each other spiritually, especially those tender in the gospel.

Through our regular monthly visits to our sisters, we can create bonds of love, friendship, and trust.

I believe that every active member of the Church knows a lost sheep who needs the attention and love of a caring shepherd.

We all have a great responsibility … that includes searching out those that are not with us and extending to them our love and fellowship.

People are most receptive to our influence when they feel that we truly love them, and not only because we have a calling to fulfill.

If I could have one thing happen for every woman in this Church, it would be that they would feel the love of the Lord in their lives.

I know what it means to have a friend, a responsibility, and to be nurtured by the good word of God.

Cheryl A. Esplin teaches the importance of filling our lives with the light and truth of the gospel.

From a satellite broadcast given at the Salt Lake Tabernacle 21 February 1999

In our own storms in life the Savior is our solace and our sanctuary. If we seek peace, we must come unto Him.

Only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement can bring us peace, hope, and understanding.

We have a loving Father in Heaven, who is waiting for us to turn to Him to bless our lives and the lives of those around us.

Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family.

May we show our love and appreciation for the Savior’s atoning sacrifice through our simple, compassionate acts of service.

It is the gospel of Jesus Christ that provides the foundation upon which we can find lasting peace and build eternal family units.

I pray that you may find peace, help many others to find it, and pass it along.

Jesus Christ and His Atonement are the refuge that we all need, regardless of the storms that are battering our lives.

Having the capacity to receive personal inspiration will be necessary in the coming days.

The Savior is the perfect engineer, builder, and interior designer. His project is the perfection and eternal joy of our souls.

We have to keep writing, keep walking, keep serving and accepting new challenges to the end of our own story.

To persevere firm and steadfast in the faith of Christ requires that the gospel of Jesus Christ penetrate one’s heart and soul.

By being the first in your family to accept the gospel, you become the first generation, a chosen generation through which generations past, present, and future may be blessed.

We have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating our love of the Lord.

With practice, each of us can become more like the Savior as we serve God’s children.

Do the best you can while on earth to have an ideal family. To help you do that, ponder and apply the principles in the proclamation on the family.

Available information wisely used is far more valuable than multiplied information allowed to lie fallow.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the solution to our problems, but we must lift our eyes and raise our sights to see Him.

President Nelson teaches about the importance of temples and announces plans to build more temples. I promise that increased time in the temple will bless your life in ways nothing else can.

President Ballard teaches us that as we follow Jesus Christ in faith, He will help us through difficult times, just as He did the pioneers. Christ can carry us today through difficult times. He did it for the early pioneers, and He does it now for each one of us.

Those who, in faith, leave their nets and follow the Savior will experience happiness beyond their ability to comprehend.

As you open your mind and heart to feel the Spirit, the Lord in His own time and in His own way will give you the instructions which will bless your life.

The Lord invites us to come out of the cold danger of worldliness and into the warmth of His light.

Followers of Christ pattern their lives after the Savior to walk in the light.

Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice but a continuous commitment and way of life that applies at all times and in all places.

As we strive to develop attributes like the Savior’s, we can become instruments of His peace in the world.

Elder Andersen explains how we can overcome contention with faith in Jesus Christ.

We can all be more consistently involved in missionary work by replacing our fear with real faith.

Elder Martinez explains blessings that come from living principles of self-reliance and participating in the Children and Youth program.

Knowing the who and the why in serving others helps us understand that the highest manifestation of love is devotion to God.

The mysteries of God are unfolded unto us only according to His will and by the power of the Holy Ghost.

One of the greatest blessings we can offer to the world is the power of a Christ-centered home where the gospel is taught, covenants are kept, and love abounds.

Our time has come. We must possess the spiritual strength to overcome our challenges, laying our faults on the altar and giving our lives to the Lord.

Don’t be the weak link in this beautiful chain of faith you started, or you received, as a legacy. Be the strong one.

The standards of the Church are firm and true. They are for your safety and eternal security.

The symbol of Jesus and His place in our hearts must be a life given fully to His service, to loving and caring.

Out of our adversity we might seek our greatest triumphs, and the day may well come that from our challenges we will understand the familiar words “for thy good.”

It is my prayer and blessing that you will never forget that you are truly precious daughters in God’s kingdom.

Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way.

All must experience and be found by the power of the truths contained in the Book of Mormon.

My plea is that we will make the sacrifices and have the humility necessary to strengthen the foundations of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

There is a loving Father in Heaven, and His Son, Jesus Christ; there is an adversary, Satan; through agency, all of us choose our own course; the temptations of the devil can always be overcome.

I would like to suggest four titles … that may help us recognize our individual roles in God’s eternal plan and our potential as priesthood holders.

President Uchtdorf encourages sisters to live in faith, search diligently, walk in righteousness, and seek God with all their hearts.

Elder Renlund teaches how to receive personal revelation through the Holy Ghost and how to avoid deception. We need to understand the framework within which the Holy Ghost functions. When we operate within the framework, the Holy Ghost can unleash astonishing insight.

It is God’s will that we be free men and women enabled to rise to our full potential both temporally and spiritually.

We … become alive as we take, knowingly, full responsibility for our own life and as we stop blaming circumstances.

If we truly want to be tools in the hands of our Heavenly Father in bringing to pass His eternal purposes, we need only to be a friend.

The redeeming presence of our loving Father-God in the universe is the … supernal truth which, along with His plan of happiness, reigns preeminent and imperial over all other realities.

Keep your eyes and your hearts centered on the Savior Jesus Christ and the eternal joy that comes only through Him.

I count Joseph Smith among those whose testimony of Christ helped me to develop my own testimony of the Savior.

I promise you that your achievement of the Duty to God Award will provide you with a living testimony that will sustain you throughout your life.

Relief Society was established by the Lord to organize, teach, and inspire His daughters to prepare for the blessings of eternal life.

The prophecies that have been fulfilled by the Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ are many.

Your happiness now and forever is conditioned on your degree of conversion and the transformation that it brings to your life.

We can feel happiness every day in our lives through little things we do, and we are fully happy as we keep the commandments of a loving God.

I pray that you young people will develop a reverence for sacred things, a respect for your elders, and a willingness to keep the commandments. I pray that you will learn to know of the Savior.
