Like the intense fire that transforms iron into steel, as we remain faithful during the fiery trial of our faith, we are spiritually refined and strengthened.

Spiritual questions deserve spiritual answers from God.

How do you remain - steadfast and immovable during a trial of faith? You immerse yourself in the very thing that helped your core of faith: you exercise faith in Christ, you pray, you ponder the scriptures, you repent, you keep the commandments, and you serve others.

The Lord will make much more out of your life than you can by yourself.

We are all in this together. With fellow ward members and missionaries, we plan and pray and help one another. Please keep the full-time missionaries in your thoughts and prayers. Trust them with your family and friends. The Lord trusts them and has called them to teach and bless those who seek Him.

As we act in faith, we often find that the blessings from the Lord are different than we expected but much better than we imagined.

Repentance is a blessing to all of us. We each need to feel the Savior's arms of mercy through the forgiveness of our sins.
