Dieter F. UchtdorfPatience means accepting that which cannot be changed and facing it with courage, grace, and faith. It means being โwilling to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon [us], even as a child doth submit to his father.โ Ultimately, patience means being โfirm and steadfast, and immovable in keeping the commandments of the Lordโ every hour of every day, even when it is hard to do so. In the words of John the Revelator, โHere is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and โฆ faith [in] Jesus.โ

Dieter F. UchtdorfHope is one leg of a three-legged stool, together with faith and charity. These three stabilize our lives regardless of the rough or uneven surfaces we might encounter at the time... Hope in our Heavenly Father's merciful plan of happiness leads to peace, mercy, rejoicing, and gladness. The hope of salvation is like a protective helmet; it is the foundation of our faith and an anchor to our souls.
