faith








 “You have the potential to become anything to which you set your mind. You have a mind and a body and a spirit. With these three working together, you can walk the high road that leads to achievement and happiness. But this will require effort and sacrifice and faith”.- President Gordon B. Hinckley, April 2004, Young Women Conference

“My beloved brothers and sisters fear not. Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith.” -Thomas S. Monson, “Be of Good Cheer,” Liahona and Ensign, May 2009, 92.

"The formula of faith is to hold on, work on, see it through, and let the distress of earlier hours—real or imagined—fall away in the abundance of the final reward." - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, April 2012, The Labourers in the Vineyard, General Conference.

"I ask everyone within the sound of my voice to take heart, be filled with faith, and remember the Lord has said He “would fight [our] battles, [our] children’s battles, and [the battles of our] children’s children." - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, October 2008, The Ministry of Angels, General Conference.

"Remove any of your fear with faith. Trust the power of God to guide you." - Elder M. Russell Ballard, April 2012, That the Lost May Be Found, General Conference.

"It is our faith in Jesus Christ that sustains us at the crossroads of life’s journey." - Elder Quentin L. Cook, October 2007, Live by Faith and Not by Fear, General Conference.

"Remove any of your fear with faith. Trust the power of God to guide you." - Elder M. Russell Ballard, April 2012, That the Lost May Be Found, General Conference.

"However much faith to obey God we now have, we will need to strengthen it continually and keep it refreshed constantly. We can do that by deciding now to be more quick to obey and more determined to endure. Learning to start early and to be steady are the keys to spiritual preparation. Procrastination and inconsistency are its mortal enemies."--Henry B. Eyring, "Spiritual Preparedness: Start Early and Be Steady," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 38

"So where should each of us make our stand? As we demonstrate our devotion to God by our daily acts of righteousness, He can know where we stand. For all of us this life is a time of sifting and refining. We all face trials. Individual members in the early days of the Church were tested and refined when they had to decide if they had the faith . . . to put their belongings in a wagon or a pioneer handcart and travel across the American plains. Some did not have the faith. Those who did traveled 'with faith in every footstep.' In our time we are going through an increasingly difficult time of refining and testing. The tests are more subtle because the lines between good and evil are being eroded. Very little seems to be sacred in any of our public communication. In this environment we will need to make sure where we stand all of the time in our commitment to eternal truths and covenants."-James E. Faust, "Where Do I Make My Stand?" Ensign, Nov. 2004, 21

"When the challenges of mortality come, and they come for all of us, it may seem hard to have faith and hard to believe. At these times only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement can bring us peace, hope, and understanding. Only faith that He suffered for our sakes will give us the strength to endure to the end. When we gain this faith, we experience a mighty change of heart, and like Enos, we become
stronger and begin to feel a desire for the welfare of our brothers and sisters. We pray for them, that they too will be lifted and strengthened through faith on the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ."
--Robert D Hale, "Finding Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ", November 2004 Ensign pg 70


Faith takes a lot of courage but when you start to understand it  you start having hope that all those things are going to come true,my  faith in the lord Jesus Christ is so big and strong because i know he loves me and he wants the best for me.
