“Miracles are not always so immediate. At times we
thoughtfully wonder why the miracle we have so earnestly prayed for does not
happen here and now. But as we trust in the Savior, promised miracles will
occur. Whether in this life or the next, all will be made right.”

"That solid basis for a foundation of
faith is personal integrity."
-Henry B. Eyring, Mountains to Climb, April 2012
"Hope is critical to both faith and charity. When disobedience, disappointment, and procrastination erode faith, hope is there to uphold our faith. When frustration and impatience challenge charity, hope braces our resolve and urges us to care for our fellowmen even without expectation of reward. The brighter our hope, the greater our faith. The stronger our hope, the purer our charity."
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Christ, Our Hope, December 2012. New Era pages 21-24.
"We are witnesses of Jesus Christ when we talk to others about our feelings about Him.
We are witnesses of Jesus Christ when we live with a happy outlook that shows our faith in Him."
-D. Todd Christofferson, How can I be a Witness of Jesus Christ? December 2012. Friend pages 58-63.

"The things we hope for lead us to faith, while the things we hope in lead us to charity. The three qualities—faith, hope, and charity—working together, grounded on the truth and light of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, lead us to abound in good works."
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Christ, Our Hope, December 2012. New Era pages 21-24.
"However, some lack faith that He lives, that He is the Savior of the world, and that His Church has been restored to the earth. Because they do not believe in the words of the prophets, they miss the joy of the gospel and its saving ordinances in their lives."
-Robert D. Hales, Finding Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, October 2004
"The gift of faith is a priceless spiritual endowment. “This is life eternal,” Jesus prayed, “that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ , whom thou hast sent."
—Neil L. Andersen, Trial of Your Faith, October 2012
"Our faith is centered in God, our Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. It is bolstered by our knowledge that the fulness of the gospel has been restored to the earth, that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and that prophets and apostles today hold the keys of the priesthood. We treasure our faith, work to strengthen our faith, pray for increased faith, and do all within our power to protect and defend our faith."
"You show your trust in [God] when you listen with the intent to learn and repent and then you go and do whatever He asks. If you trust God enough to listen for His message in every sermon, song, and prayer in this conference, you will find it. And if you then go and do what He would have you do, your power to trust Him will grow, and in time you will be overwhelmed with gratitude to find that He has come to trust you."
—Henry B. Eyring, Trust in God, Then Go and Do, October 2010
"When faith is properly understood and used, it has dramatically far-reaching effects. Such faith can transform an individual’s life from maudlin, common everyday activities to a symphony of joy and happiness."
—Richard G. Scott, The transforming Power of Faith and Character, October 2010
