Faith in Jesus Christ is a gift from heaven that comes as we choose to believe and as we seek it and hold on to it.

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.

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.

This isn't missionary work. This is missionary fun.

The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around and to “re-turn” toward God.

When you are faced with a test of faith, stay within the safety and security of the household of God. There is always a place for you here. No trial is so large we can't overcome it together.

With all the blessings our modern age has given to us, let us not give up the things that promote the workings of the Holy Ghost.
