Brothers and sisters, as good as our previous experience may be, if we stop asking questions, stop thinking, stop pondering, we can thwart the revelations of the Spirit. Remember, it was the questions young Joseph asked that opened the door for the restoration of all things. We can block the growth and knowledge our Heavenly Father intends for us. How often has the Holy Spirit tried to tell us something we needed to know but couldn't get past the massive iron gate of what we thought we already knew?
Dieter F. UchtdorfAll you have to do is trust your Heavenly Father. Trust Him enough to follow His plan.
Dieter F. UchtdorfI bare witness that our living hope is in Jesus Christ.. I testify that with Christ, darkness cannot succeed.
Dieter F. UchtdorfNo one likes to fail. But we mortals do not become champions without effort and discipline or without making mistakes.
Dieter F. UchtdorfPride is the switch that turns off priesthood power. Humility is a switch that turns it on . . . . Some suppose that humility is about beating ourselves up. Humility does not mean convincing ourselves that we are worthless, meaningless, or of little value. Nor does it mean denying or withholding the talents God has given us. We don't discover humility by thinking less of ourselves; we discover humility by thinking less about ourselves. It comes as we go about our work with an attitude of serving God and our fellowman.
