It lightens heavy hearts and heals the wounds of sin. It restores perspective, allowing us to recognize our blessings even in the midst of our trials. Finally, it guides us in making decisions.”

“Increase in Faith,” April 1994 General Conference
“As women, we like very much to please others—sometimes seeking approval so frantically that we become torn and confused by the conflicting needs of those around us. Concentrating on pleasing Heavenly Father brings peace, a respite from fear and anxiety. Think of that, young women, the next time you are asked to perform in church, or visit an inactive member of your class, or plan an activity: ‘I only need to worry about pleasing the Lord.’ ”
Virginia H. Pearce, First Counselor, Young Women General Presidency
“Fear,” October 1992 General Conference
“We begin by teaching what we are. The children need us; they need to see in us what they can become. They need to see us keeping the commandments. We must come unto the Lord and seek for the peace of the gospel in our own lives. ‘Learn of me,’ the Lord said, ‘and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.’ When we are at peace, then our children can be at peace.”
Michaelene P. Grassli, Primary General President

Our only peace, through disappointments, sorrow, and challenges, will come as we draw nearer unto him. With such love for our Redeemer, every difficult experience may be met with courage, acceptance, and even gratitude. His love for us is a gift beyond price. What does he ask in return? ‘Love one another; as I have loved you.’ (John 13:34)”
