Heavenly Father has perfect foresight, knows each of us, and knows our future. He knows what difficulties we will pass through. He sent His Son to suffer so that He would know how to succor us in all our trials.

Heavenly Father hears your prayers, He loves you. He knows your name. He loves you beyond your ability to comprehend.

Humble prayer to our Heavenly Father, in deep faith in Jesus Christ, is essential to qualify us for the companionship of the Holy Ghost.

The fruit of keeping covenants is the companionship of the Holy Ghost and an increase in the power to love.

The Savior warns that if we start along the path and go far enough and then fail and deny Him, it would have been better if we had never begun.

The good works that really matter require the help of heaven. And the help of heaven requires working past the point of fatigue so far that only the meek and lowly will keep going long enough. The Lord doesn't put us through this test just to give us a grade; he does it because the process will change us.

The sad pattern of lack of trust in God has persisted since the Creation.
