We can sometimes waste years of our lives waiting to be chosen. But that is a false premise. You are already chosen!

Patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace.

The things we hope in sustain us during our daily walk. They uphold us through trials, temptations, and sorrow. Everyone has experienced discouragement and difficulty. Indeed, there are times when the darkness may seem unbearable. It is in these times that the divine principles of the restored gospel we hope in can uphold us and carry us until, once again, we walk in the light.

The divine love of God turns ordinary acts into extraordinary service.

Don’t get discouraged if you stumble at times. The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try.

Life has a way of testing our anchors and tempting us to drift. Nevertheless, if our anchors are correctly placed in the rock of our Redeemer, they will hold—no matter the force of the wind, the strength of the tide, or the height of the waves.

Be strong and of good courage. You are truly royal spirit daughters of Almighty God. You are princesses, destined to become queens. Your own wondrous story has already begun. Your "once upon a time" is now.
