Mosiah 18-24
Diane Adair - March 1, 2011





"...Only one who has fought against those ominous waves is justified in telling us as well as the sea--Be still.  Only one who has taken the full brunt of such adversity could ever be justified in telling us in such times to be of good cheer.  Such counsel is not a jaunty PEP talk.  Christ knows better than all others that the trials of life can be very deep and we are not shallow people if we struggle with them..."
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland; Ensign, November, 1999


"Our Savior waits for us to come to Him through our scripture study, pondering, and prayer to our Heavenly Father. Great blessings and lessons come from overcoming adversity. As we are strengthened and healed, we can then lift and strengthen others..."
  Elder Robert D. Hales; Ensign, November, 1998; Healing Soul and Body


"For many years I thought of the Saviors experience in the garden and the cross where a large mass of sin was heaped upon Him.  Through Book of Mormon prophets my view has changed.  The Atonement was an intimate personal experience in which Jesus came to know how to help each of us...He learned about our weaknesses, pains and sufferings...He knows how to help us if we come to Him in faith."
Elder Merrill G. Bateman
