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

Tolerance is a virtue, but, like all virtues, when exaggerated it transforms itself into a vice.
BOYD K. PACKER

Tolerance Vices Virtue
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.

Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.

We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit; otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary.
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Enticements Otherwise Spirit Use
Latter-day Saints are not obedient because they are compelled to be obedient. They are obedient because they know certain spiritual truths and have decided, as an expression of their own individual agency, to obey the commandments of God. . . .
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Expression Spiritual
If you need a transfusion of spiritual strength then just ask for it. We call that Prayer. Prayer is powerful spiritual medicine.
