QUOTES FOR MORMON 1-6
Diane Adair



"In Hebrew, yad, the most common word for hand, is also used metaphorically to mean power and strength.  Thus hands signify power and strength…To be in the hands of God would suggest that we are not only under His watchful care but also that we are guarded and protected by His wondrous power…

His divine assistance is evident over and over again.  His powerful hands created worlds and yet were gentle enough to bless little children…

Every one of us needs to know that we can go on in the strength of the Lord. We can put our hand in His and we will feel His sustaining presence lift us to heights unattainable alone…

How do we learn to extend our hand and connect to the comfort of the Lord?  Four Keys…Learn, Listen, Seek the Spirit, Pray always.

 The Lord will provide sustenance and support if we are willing to open the door and receive His hand of divine assistance…Imagine the wounds in His hands.  His weathered hands, yes even His hands of torn flesh and physical sacrifice, give our hands greater power and direction.  It is the wounded Christ who leads us through moments of difficulty.  It is He who bears us up when we need more air to breathe or direction to follow, or even more courage to continue.

If we will keep the commandments of God and walk hand in hand with Him in His paths we will go forward with faith and never feel alone."
      Craig Zwick, Ensign, November 2003

"Knowing that his own life would soon be brought to an end, as his enemies hunted the survivors, he pleaded for our generation to walk with faith, hope, and charity, declaring: “Charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.” (Moro. 7:47.)

Such was the goodness, the strength, the power, the faith, the prophetic heart of the prophet-leader Mormon."
           President Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, November 1990

"The word Mormon literally means, more good."   Joseph Smith, History of th Church, 5:400

"When you have the Holy Ghost you can know that the Atonement is working in your life."
        Elder Henry B. Eyring
