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.

If our view is limited to mortal life, some things become unbearable because they seem so unfair and so permanent.

Most of what we acquire materially is found to not be worth what we must pay spiritually.

The flak is always the heaviest closest to the target

A testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large.

Get to Know Yourself Once you start getting acquainted with yourselves, finding out who you are and where you belong and who your relatives are, spiritually speaking as well as in the earthly frame of reference, you come to the astounding, overwhelming realization that you are a child of God-that you belong to Him, that He is your Father. He is our Father.

The scriptures hold the keys to spiritual protection.
