The simple secret is this: put your trust in the Lord, do your best, then leave the rest to Him.

We should be patient in developing and strengthening our testimonies. Rather than expecting immediate or spectacular manifestations, though they will come when needed, we should pray for a testimony, study the scriptures, follow the counsel of our prophet and other Church leaders, and live the principles of the gospel. Our testimonies then will grow and mature naturally, perhaps imperceptibly at times, until they become driving forces in our lives.

There is within each of us a divine spark of greatness. Who knows of what we are capable if we only try?

I know that each of us has much to do. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the tasks we face. But if we keep our priorities in order, we can accomplish all that we should. We can endure to the end regardless of temptations, problems, and challenges.

As we give of our time, talents and resources to tend the needs of the sick, offer food to the hungry and teach the dependent to stand on their own, we enrich ourselves spiritually beyond our ability to comprehend.

We see ourselves as yesterday and today. Heavenly Father sees us as forever.

No matter our age, our circumstances, or abilities... Each one of us can create something remarkable with our lives.
