Faith


1. "President Monson has also wisely taught that a foundation of faith in the reality of those promises takes time to build. You may have seen the need for that foundation, as I have, at the bedside of someone ready to give up the fight to endure to the end. If the foundation of faith is not embedded in our hearts, the power to endure will crumble." -President Henry B. Eyring (Mountains to Climb, April 2012 General Conference)

2. "...the ground must be carefully prepared for our foundation of faith to withstand the storms that will come into every life. That solid basis for a foundation of faith is personal integrity." -President Henry B. Eyring (Mountains to Climb, April 2012 General Conference)


3. "Now, I wish to encourage those who are in the midst of hard trials, who feel their faith may be fading under the onslaught of troubles. Trouble itself can be your way to strengthen and finally gain unshakable faith. Moroni, the son of Mormon in the Book of Mormon, told us how that blessing could come to pass. He teaches the simple and sweet truth that acting on even a twig of faith allows God to grow it" -President Henry B. Eyring (Mountains to Climb, April 2012 General Conference)


4. "We need strong Christians who can make important things happen by their faith and who can defend the truth of Jesus Christ" -Elder D. Todd Christofferson (The Power of Covenants. April 2009 General Conference)


5. This brings us to a second way in which our covenants supply strength—they produce the faith necessary to persevere and to do all things that are expedient in the Lord." -Elder D. Todd Christofferson (The Power of Covenants. April 2009 General Conference)


6. "Scriptural accounts of the faith of others serve to strengthen our own. We recall the faith of a centurion that enabled Christ to heal his servant without so much as seeing him, and the healing of a Gentile woman’s daughter because that humble mother would accept, as it were, even the crumbs from the Master’s table" -Elder D. Todd Christofferson (The Blessing of Scripture. April 2010 General Conference)

7. "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."
-President Henry B. Eyring (Spiritual Preparedness: Start Early and Be Steady. October 2005 General Conference)

8. "You exercise faith by...making your mind accept or believe as truth that which you cannot, by reason alone, prove for certainty."
-President Boyd K. Packer (Ensign, November 1994, page 60)

9. "Those who have felt the touch of the Master's hand somehow cannot explain the change which comes into their lives. There is a desire to live better, to serve faithfully, to walk humbly, and to be more like the Savior. Having received their spiritual eyesight and glimpsed the promises of eternity, they echo the words of the blind man to whom Jesus restored sight: 'One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see' “ - President Thomas S. Monson (Anxiously Engaged, October 2004 General Conference)

10. "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." 
--Elder D Hale (Finding Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, October 2004 General Conference)
