Often the answer to our prayer does not come while weโre on our knees but while weโre on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us. Selfless acts of service and consecration refine our spirits remove the scales from our spiritual eyes and open the windows of heaven. By becoming the answer to someoneโs prayer we often find the answer to our own.

Dieter F. UchtdorfSometimes, of all the people in the world, the one who is the hardest to forgive-as well as perhaps the one who is most in need of our forgiveness-is the person looking back at us in the mirror.
Dieter F. UchtdorfWe are not perfect. The people around us are not perfect. People do things that annoy, disappoint, and anger. In this mortal life it will always be that way. Nevertheless, we must let go of our grievances. Part of the purpose of mortality is to learn how to let go of such things. That is the Lordโs way. Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive.
