The answer is the same for everyone: we must, and we can, resist temptations of any kind.

Boyd K. Packer

It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.
BOYD K. PACKER

Disappointment Life Struggle
Faith, to be faith, must walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness. If everything has to be known, if everything has to be explained, if everything has to be certified, then there is no need for faith. Indeed, there is no room for it.
BOYD K. PACKER

Certified Edge Everything Faith
Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected.

Family Sacred Should Time
No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children.

Children Mother Teaching
The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.
BOYD K. PACKER

Atonement Crise Pain Sin
Do you realize how marvelous it is that you can call upon the Atonement? The Lord effected the Atonement for our sakes. And there isn’t anything that you can’t repent from and that you can’t be rescued from if you will repent and be determined to make the decision.
BOYD K. PACKER

Decision Determined Marvelous Realized Sake
The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.
BOYD K. PACKER

Believe Ideas Life Preposterous
Happiness will depend on what each of us does with what each has, what we learn from what we do, and what we do thereafter.
BOYD K. PACKER

Depend Happiness Learning
I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting; it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them.
BOYD K. PACKER

Hard Hurt Times Uplifting
No pain will last forever. It is not easy, but life was never meant to be either easy or fair. Repentance and the lasting hope that forgiveness brings will always be worth the effort.
BOYD K. PACKER

Inspirational Pain Spiritual
How grateful we are for you, our youth.
BOYD K. PACKER

Grateful Sucess Young Youth
In a sense, speaking figuratively, to take one’s agency, that precious gift which the scriptures make plain is essential to life itself, and say, “I will do as you direct,” is afterward to learn that in so doing you possess it all the more.
BOYD K. PACKER

Afterward Discovery Greatest Learn Scriptures
You have that same agency. Use it wisely to deny acting on any impure impulse or unholy temptation that may come into your mind. Just do not go there, and if you are already there, come back out of it. ‘Deny yourselves of all ungodliness’ (Moroni 10:32).
BOYD K. PACKER

Already Come Impulse Mind Use
When temptation comes, you can invent a delete key in your mind- perhaps the words from a favorite hymn. Your mind is in charge; your body is the instrument of your mind.
BOYD K. PACKER

Delete Hymns Keys Powerful Words
Happiness is inseparably connected with decent, clean behavior.
BOYD K. PACKER

Behavior Clean Decent
It has to be an awfully good meeting to beat having no meeting at all.
