"If we are focused on Jesus and His work, both our joys and our staying capacity are increased... Nephi had not selfishly sought his own life, but rather had sought to do God's will. this gave him the extra and undivided energy which made his striving with unwearied diligence possible. Nephi knew in which direction he faced: toward God"

That will be when as a result of righteous living, we shall so enjoy the companionship of the spirit that he will dictate what we ask"

"In the Bible Dictionary we learn that the word grace frequently is used in the scriptures to connote a strengthening or enabling power:
...It is like wise through the grace of the Lord that individuals, through faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ and repentance of their sins, receive strength and assistance to do good works that they otherwise would not be able to maintain if left to their own means. This grace is an enabling power that allows men and women to lay hold on eternal life and exaltation after they have expended their own best efforts. Thus, the enabling and strengthening aspect of the Atonement helps us to see and to do and to become good in ways that we could never recognize or accomplish with our limited mortal capacity. I testify and witness that the enabling power of the Savior's Atonement is real."
Elder David A. Bednar - In the Strength of the Lord, Ensign November, 2004
In the Strength of the Lord
"The grace of the Lord through the Atonement can both cleanse us of sin and assist us in perfecting ourselves through our trials, sicknesses, and even character defects... Christ can repair our flaws and failings that otherwise are not repairable... that great truth ought to fill us all with hope, as long as we are quick to remember that the effectof grace in our lives is conditioned upon repenting of our sins... A repentant ear and good works are the very condition required to have grace restored to us. When someone pleads fervently in prayer for an answer, the answer may be more conditioned on repentance of personal sins than on any other factor... To obtain grace one does not have to be perfect, but he does have to be trying to keep the commandments the best that he can. Then the Lord will allow him to receive that power."
Elder Gene R. Cook - Receiving Divine Assistance through the Grace of the Lord, Ensign May, 1993
