Teach our members that if they have a good, miserable day once in a while, or several in a row, to stand steady and face them. Things will straighten out. There is great purpose in our struggle in life.

Boyd K. Packer

We are able to feel and learn very quickly through music, through art, through poetry some spiritual things that we would otherwise learn very slowly.

If the word is tolerance, grab that one, too, saying, “I expect you to be tolerant of my lifestyle-obedience, integrity, abstinence, repentance.” If the word is choice, tell them you choose good, old-fashioned morality.

Depressing Disappointment Feelings
Justice can seem to be so very demanding. But we must learn that when we put everything as right as we can put it right, it is Justice who invokes the Atonement, orders the adversary off our property, and posts the notice that his agents will make no more collections from us.
BOYD K. PACKER

Demanding Justice Learning Life Order
Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, certain that the Lord will watch over us, particularly in the family.

Family Fear Particular
There is also an age-old excuse: “The devil made me do it.” Not so! He can deceive you and mislead you, but he does not have the power to force you or anyone else to transgress or to keep you in transgression.
BOYD K. PACKER

Age Deceive Devil Excuse
Seek worthy companions. Attend church faithfully. Never fail daily to seek for help through prayer. And I promise you that the way will be easier and you shall have a composure of mind and a confident attitude toward life and the future.

Christ’s mercy is the mighty healer; even to the wounded innocent.
BOYD K. PACKER

Christ Innocent Mercy
We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.
BOYD K. PACKER

Father Parenting Sorrow
Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.
BOYD K. PACKER

Lord Remember Repented Sin
It is in the ordinances of the temple that we are placed under covenant to Him….[If] we will enter into our covenants without reservation or apology, the Lord will protect us. We will receive inspiration sufficient for the challenges of life.
