Confronting the Complexities of Life . . .

"Ofttimes we become anxious and fearful as we confront the complexities of life. If we seek divine guidance and follow the gospel path, we will be led to our final destination. Sometimes adversity may seem so overwhelming that we feel powerless to continue. If we appeal for help with humility and faith, our Heavenly Father will provide a way to lovingly help us through."

Tai Kwok Yuen, “‘He Maketh Me to Lie Down in Green Pastures’,” Ensign, May 1993, 86

A Powerful Idea . . .

"A powerful idea with immediate practical application is the reality that we can pray to our Heavenly Father, and he will hear our prayers and help us in the way that is best for us. Most of us have experienced the terrible empty feeling that comes from being separated from those who love us. If we remember that we can pray and be heard and helped, we can always withstand that feeling of emptiness. We can always be in touch with a powerful friend who loves us and helps us, in his own time and in his own way."

Dallin H. Oaks, “Powerful Ideas,” Ensign, Nov 1995, 25

Weeping may endure for a night. . .

"As we ponder the events that can befall all of us--even sickness, accident, death, and a host of lesser challenges--we can say, with Job of old, "Man is born unto trouble." . . .It may be safely assumed that no person has ever lived entirely free of suffering and tribulation. Nor has there ever been a period in human history that did not have its full share of turmoil, ruin, and misery. . . To all who so despair, may I offer the assurance of the Psalmist's words: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

--President Thomas S. Monson, “Peace in Our Savior,” Ensign, Jun 2005, 2–7
