Everything that I have learned from the revelations and from life convinces me that there is time and to spare for you to carefully prepare for a long life.

Boyd K. Packer

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
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
I do not think it pleases the Lord when we worry because we think we never do enough or that what we do is never good enough.
BOYD K. PACKER

Enough Never Good Thinking Worry
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
Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.
BOYD K. PACKER

Historians Inspire Truth
The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.
BOYD K. PACKER

Accountability Fame Choices Evil Fortune Poverty
Often, very often, we are punished as much by our sins as we are for them.
BOYD K. PACKER

Offended Punish Sins
Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.
BOYD K. PACKER

Independent Responsibility Self
The Atonement has practical, personal, everyday value; apply it in your life. It can be activated with so simple a beginning as prayer.
BOYD K. PACKER

Everyday Prayer Simple
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
Mature love has a bliss not even imagined by newlyweds.
BOYD K. PACKER

Bliss Mature Love Newlyweds
I’m not ashamed to say that I want to be good. And I’ve found in my life that it has been critically important to establish this intention between me and the Lord so that I knew that HE knew which way I committed my agency.
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Differences Giving
At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can ‘see’ things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.
BOYD K. PACKER

Able Distraction Dust Fog Temple
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.
BOYD K. PACKER

Apology Challenges Inspiration
I do not think it pleases the Lord when we worry because we think we never do enough or that what we do is never good enough….Some needlessly carry a heavy burden of guilt which could be removed through confession and repentance.
BOYD K. PACKER

Burden heavy Needlessly Please
The scriptures speak of ‘the shield of faith wherewith,’ the Lord said, ‘ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked’ (D&C 27:17).
