One of the great lessons that each of us needs to learn is to ask. Why does the Lord want us to pray to Him and to ask? Because that is how revelation is received.

Other people’s actions do not dictate what is right or wrong.
From an April 2004 conference talk by James E. Faust
With all my capacity I encourage you to discover who you really are. I invite you to look beyond the daily routine of life. I urge you to discern through the Spirit your divinely given capacities. I exhort you to prayerfully make worthy choices that will lead you to realize your full potential.

Three Ways to Be More Charitable

From an April 2002 conference talk by Gene R. Cook, here are three ways we can be more Christlike and charitable:

  1. Recognize the Lord’s hand and feel His love in all that surrounds us.
  2. Receive His love gratefully and in humility. True gratitude is the ability to humbly see, feel, and even receive love.
  3. Convey His love. The Lord’s response to us is always filled with love. Should not our response to Him be in kind, with real feelings of love?
Joy comes when we have the Spirit in our lives.

Knowing Who We Are

From an October 1995 conference talk by Dallin H. Oaks:

Consider the power of the idea taught in our beloved song “I Am a Child of God,”, sung so impressively by the choir at the beginning of this session. Here is the answer to one of life’s great questions, “Who am I?” I am a child of God with a spirit lineage to heavenly parents. That parentage defines our eternal potential. That powerful idea is a potent antidepressant. It can strengthen each of us to make righteous choices and to seek the best that is within us. Establish in the mind of a young person the powerful idea that he or she is a child of God and you have given self-respect and motivation to move against the problems of life.

When we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life. We are sent here to be tested. There must be opposition in all things. We are meant to learn and grow through that opposition, through meeting our challenges, and through teaching others to do the same.

Inviting the Spirit

From an October 2010 conference talk by David A. Bednar:

Our invitations for the companionship of the Holy Ghost occur in many ways: through the making and keeping of covenants; by praying sincerely as individuals and families; by searching the scriptures diligently; through strengthening appropriate relationships with family members and friends; by seeking after virtuous thoughts, actions, and language; and by worshipping in our homes, in the holy temple, and at church. Conversely, casualness about or the breaking of covenants and commitments, failing to pray and study the scriptures, and inappropriate thoughts, actions, and language cause the Spirit to withdraw from or to avoid us altogether.

Come Forth

From an April 2001 conference talk by Thomas S. Monson:

The passage of time has not altered the capacity of the Redeemer to change men’s lives—our lives and the lives of those with whom we labor. As He said to the dead Lazarus, so He says today: “Come forth.” Come forth from the despair of doubt. Come forth from the sorrow of sin. Come forth from the death of disbelief. Come forth to a newness of life. Come forth.

Virtuous traits form the foundation of a Christian life and are the outward manifestation of the inner man.
From an October 2009 conference talk by H. David Burton
