It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal. Teach our members that if they have a good, miserable day once in a while, or several in a row, to stand steady and face them. Things will straighten out. There is great purpose in our struggle in life.
Boyd K. PackerIt is my conviction that your generation is better and stronger than was ours... better in many ways! I have the faith that you young men and young women can meet the world on its own terms and conquer it.
Boyd K. PackerDo you realize how marvelous it is that you can call upon the Atonement? The Lord effected the Atonement for our sakes. And there isnโt anything that you canโt repent from and that you canโt be rescued from if you will repent and be determined to make the decision.
Boyd K. PackerIf our view is limited to mortal life, some things become unbearable because they seem so unfair and so permanent.
Boyd K. PackerAn organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom. If we will listen, they are teaching the gospel, for the hymns of the Restoration are, in fact, a course in doctrine!
