There is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache, no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior did not experience first. In a moment of weakness we may cry out, “No one knows what it is like. No one understands.” But the Son of God perfectly knows and understands, for He has felt and borne our individual burdens.

Sturdy gospel roots that go deep into rich spiritual soil strengthen and steady us in times of trial and difficulty.

Knowing that the gospel is true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is the essence of conversion.

Would the Lord send one of the Twelve Apostles halfway around the world to help just one person? The answer is YES. He does it all the time.

Disciples who are steadfast and immovable do not become fanatics or extremists, are not overzealous, and are not preoccupied with misguided gospel hobbies.

The ancient Apostles were common men, and that was part of their credential.

Asking in faith requires honesty, effort, commitment, and persistence.
