As we arise each morning, let us determine to respond with love and kindness to whatever might come our way.

Each of us can do something to help someone.

Faith precedes the miracle. It has ever been so and shall ever be. It was not raining when Noah was commanded to build an ark. There was no visible ram in the thicket when Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Two heavenly personages were not yet seen when Joseph knelt and prayed. First came the test of faith–and then the miracle. Remember that faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other. Cast out doubt. Cultivate faith.

We need learn what we need to learn, know what we need to know, and do what we need to do.

Each of our temples is an expression of our testimony that life beyond the grave is as real and as certain as is our life here on earth.

May we ever watch over one another, assisting in times of need. Let us not be critical and judgmental, but let us be tolerant, ever emulating the Savior's example of loving-kindness. In that vein, may we willingly serve one another. May we pray for the inspiration to know of the needs of those around us, and then may we go forward and provide assistance.

I promise you that one day you will stand aside and look at your difficult times, you will realize that he was always there beside you.
